Vintage Lady Golfer Pyrography Wood Box

Vintage Lady Golfer Pyrography Wood Box

$22.50
Do you have a friend/family member that is a golfer? Wouldn't this be a fun little gift to display the love of the game, and to use to store old score cards or other small golfing items?

In the early 1900's Pyrography was the art of decorating wood or leather with a heated tool to burn the design onto the object. This box is a perfect example of how charming this decorative style could be with its depiction of a lady golfer heading out for a summer time game of golf. I believe this is a later version of the antique style. It was most likely used to hold gloves or hankies, or other items of utility and proudly displayed on top of the dresser in the early American home. There's a fabulous edge detailing around the entire cover and box edges.

This darling box is in nice condition with no cracks or mechanical issues. The nail for one of the hinges is more obvious on the lid but it still holds it in place well. The lady golfer image is on both sides of the lid. The front image has some red and green coloring added to brighten up the presentation. On the two back sides are hinged antique brass fittings that allow the top to be lifted easily and set back down when not in use.

The box displays so well.
