A lovely small antique English Georgian patinated country oak boarded box with iron nail construction. The great wafer thin lid is chamfered with groove lined border detail creating a stylish appearance.
Minor historic worm holes to underside of base, treated. 
There is a pencil insription on the underside of the lid, 'This box is  Harper Box', presumably a family name.
The small period key doesnt work, but adds to the appearance. The key hole is not quite central to the box, all part of the lovely rustic, country character of this item.
 
This box is a grat piece, of small proportions, with a lovely colour and patina.
