This lovely Bombay Chest form Shell Art box is a rarely found style. It stands about 4” tall by 5” wide. The top features a satin covered pincushion and the paper sides are well-intact as are the shells—we see very few missing or damaged ones. It appears the legs are slightly misshaped perhaps from simply years of standing? Additionally, one appears to be reinforced with a clear plastic bumper. Please inspect the photos carefully. Bottom bears original registration sticker.... Some stains inside. Despite the wear, the piece sits well and feels solid—not wobbly!
This piece really displays nicely!
