Antique Pantry Box with Unusual, Perfectly Fitted Lid in Most Beautiful Mustard Grain Painti stocking stuffers Very good condition one spotThe paint on this one made me swoon when I spotted it at one of my favorite shops just over the Vermont border last week photos do no real justice to the richness of color and surface.

A beauty of a yellow underside too. SO pretty. Late 19th century or so. 6 1 8" in
