Sold by Forget-Me-Not Antiques

I have only owned a couple of these fake book boxes. They were made to look like a book and sit on a bookshelf but held documents instead. This book box has its original dark brown paint with fake salmon color painted pages. It has very folky deeply carved designs. The box measures 13 1/2 x 10 1/2 x 4” thick. Ca.1860-1880. Condition is good. More photos available.
