Late 17th/Early 18th century, Slide Lid Box
A late 17th. century/early 18th. Century red painted slide lid box having complete Rosemead nailed construction, all nails are present and quite lovely. The box has an old paper label on the side stating it is a Suffield Ct. box that was made on or before the year 1800. A lovely box with an unusual curved end to the slide lid gives the box added character. . The lid is chamfered very thin and does hold and slide as you open and close the box because of the replacement rails that have been added to the inside of the box, the rails are lined up with the track (see the last photo). Someone added the old emery board, prior to the added rails, at some point in the life of the box. I have left it in place,as it adds to the integrity of the piece. The box measures 11 x 5 1/4 x 5 inches. Excellent provenance. Price: sold
