These fabulous folk art -stroke work boxes are so colorful. They have been o. The fininish on some of the solid paint was very, very lifgtly distressed by factory. I purchased these at Kathy's Primitives at the Atlanta gift market.This is my last set. These boxes are wood and so substantial and strong. If I were using them , I wouldn't nest them because each one has different designs. The medium one has different strokes on the end and side. They are so unusual  and add an older flavor to your decor
