A wonderful walnut trinket box with inlaid conjoined hearts on the left side. The box has hand sawed dovetails and has a raised faceted top. A small piece of the top at the right hinge is missing. At that same hinge on the interior a broken piece was reglued. There is a shrinkage crack on the underside of the lid, but it does not go through and is stable. There was some sort of a lock or fastener at one time. The bottom board and inlaid hearts are made of maple. The box has an old dry varnish surface. Additional photos are attached by the magnifying glass icon.
