Interior of box
I'm not sure what the original purpose of this box was. It was sold at auction as a tool box. I found buttons, needles, etc. which led me to believe it was a sewing chest. Another customer thought perhaps it was a document box. In any case, it has lots of lift out boxes, and secret compartments beneath. Very unusual!
Black table centerpiece
The possibilities are endless! I think this had a glass cover at one time, but now it's just the black base made of wood. It's perfectly distressed for Halloween decorating!
