19th Century Dough Box Casket Handles Old Red Paint Picture(s) and Description:

THIS IS A MUST HAVE AND MUST SEE ! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL FIND.THIS PIECE COMES FROM AN OLD CONNECTICUT ESTATE. IT IS A GORGEOUS LARGE DOUGH BOX WITH OLD ORIGINAL RED DISTRESSED PAINT. THE LID LOOKS TO HAVE SOME BLACK IN IT. IT IS A UNIQUE SHAPE WITH HANDLES IN ALL 4 CORNERS THAT LOOK LIKE A CASKET. THERE ARE SEVERAL SQUARE HEAD NAILS ON THE BOTTOM AND NONE ANYWHERE ELSE. IT IS HELD TOGETHER WITH THE 4 SIDES JOINTED TOGETHER IN A DOVETAIL FASHION. IT IS MADE OF 5 PIECES OF WOOD AND THE LID IS NOT ATTACHED. THE LID HAS A LIP ON THE INSIDE SO IT FITS ON PERFECTLY LINED UP. WHAT A BEAUTY !

IT MEASURES 35 INCHES IN LENGTH ACROSS THE TOP AND THE HANDLES ADD 4 INCHES TO EACH END TOTALING 43 INCHES. THE WIDTH IS 15 INCHES AND THE HEIGHT IS 11 INCHES. I BELIEVE IT IS MADE OF PINE. KEEP IN MIND THE HANDLES ARE CARVED FROM THE SAME PIECE OF WOOD THAT MAKES UP THE SIDES. THEY ARE NOT SEPARATE PIECES.

THIS IS A ONE OF A KIND AND HAS THE MOST SOUGHT OLD RED PAINT. I KNOW YOU WILL LOVE IT AS MUCH AS I DO.ENJOY.
