Large round Swedish blue Bentwood box
This large oval-round bentwood box is brilliant in color.
Period: Early 19th century (1800-1900)
The overlapping seam is striking, beautifully sewn or braided using flexible birch or spruce roots. Beautiful craftsmanship.
Dimensions:
L x W 40 x 44 cm
Height 22 cm
The lid rests loosely on the box because the upright wooden pin used to hold the lid in place is missing on one side. Otherwise in very fine antique condition.
