I love this oval box. It is so well constructed with its fine cooper made body, subtle wood carving and willow banding around it's oak frame. It has a patina to die for. I bought this box in New England. But, I see a Scandinavian influence in it's design. Guessing it is 1850's to 1870's and it is just beautiful. Not sure of its use. Perhaps it is "ditty" type box; perhaps a butter container.
