19th Century American Pine Primitive Decorative Box

American decorative box in the Primitive style, circa 19th century. There is an hand painted border and corner direction, crude in execution. Interesting ‘stepped’ design with simple handmade metal latch closure. There is a rich patina / considerable age to the box, including peeling (all of which further enhance the Primitive character of the piece).

Measures: H 3.5″ x L 11.75″ x D 8.25″.
