Water lilies and lotus flowers populate one long sidewall and roses or small chrysanthemums decorate the other side. The interior of the window box is painted with a burnt sienna enamel paint. The sidewall graphic iconography is completely hand painted. This hand painted wooden flower box, now nearly 120-140 years old, has clearly escaped the ravages of time. The recessed bottom panel of the box is unpainted and reveals the box was constructed out of pine. The sidewalls are sloped and splayed outward, giving it a graceful and visually pleasing form. One long side panel features a vignette of water lilies, while the other sidewall features roses or small chrysanthemums. In wonderful overall condition. Nice. CONDITION: Good to Very Good overall antique condition with some scuffs which add to the overall essence of this antique. One of the side brackets is offset a bit which appears to be part of the original handmade nature of this box. Nonetheless, it is included in the picture as are all notable imperfections that at to the character of this unique piece. It is pre-owned and sold as is.
