This listing is for a large vintage cedar jewelry box from the 1950s, complete with its original miniature padlock and key. Crafted from aromatic cedar, this beautifully made box features an intricate three-panel carved river scene with cottages, trees, mountains, boats, floral details, and architectural columns—an excellent example of mid-century decorative woodcraft.
The box is solidly constructed with dovetail joints and stands on four carved cedar feet for added stability and visual interest. Both the lid and front panel are adorned with carved leaf and berry motifs, enhancing its classic vintage appeal.
Inside, the box includes an original interior mirror framed in gold-tone metal, making it both functional and elegant. While perfect for jewelry storage, this versatile piece is also ideal for letters, photographs, keepsakes, or heirloom items. The natural cedar helps repel moths and absorb odors, adding practical value.
Condition:
Nice vintage condition overall. Light surface scratches and minor wear are present, consistent with age, and do not detract from the beauty or craftsmanship of the piece. Structurally sound and fully functional.
A wonderful decorative and functional accent for a bedroom, dressing area, or vintage collection.
