Victorian Paper Covered Box with Theorem Painted Pears on Branch Tohono O'Odham right in time for meA theorem painting of pears on velvet with embossed silver paper trim, green papered sides and a pretty pretty pink lining of course I had to say yes to this one. I've found just a few out there along similar lines, which help me date it to 1880 or so, though I'm not entirely certain what it once held. A lovely thing now for delivering a special gift, or just a special gift in itself. 4 7 8" x 2 11 16" x 1 1 8" and in very good antique condition.
