THIS IS AN ANTIQUE SOLID PINE BOX. IT LOOKS TO BE FROM THE LATE VICTORIAN PERIOD. SLOPING TOP, POSSIBLY FOR STORING FEED OR CORN ORIGINALLY. IT IS SOLID PINE, AVERAGE CONDITION. IT HAS SUFFERED WITH WOOD WORM IN THE PAST, IT IS PROBABLY LONG DEAD! BUT I WOULD RECOMMEND TREATING IT TO BE SURE.
THESE ARE GREAT FOR STORING CLOTHES / BLANKETS, THEY ALSO MAKE GREAT TOY BOXES etc. THIS LOOKS OK AS IT IS, BUT COULD EASILY BE STRIPPED OR PAINTED. PLEASE SEEK ADVICE BEFORE STRIPPING OLD PAINT AND USE THE CORRECT SAFETY EQUIPMENT. IT WOULD LOOK GREAT PAINTED IN A CONTEMPORY COLOUR TO GIVE IT A STYLISH NEW LOOK.
