Lovely Pair of 19th Century Treen Boxes with Paint Decorated, Threaded Lids antique magic lantern A relatively humble but singular

A relatively humble but singular and to my eye quite beautiful example

The paddle itself beautifully extends all the way through the handle

with general light wear and tiny loss at lower left corner

Yellow:  4 1/4" in diameter

and a nice moodiness and sense of aura to the whole thing

Lovely Pair of 19th Century Treen Boxes with Paint Decorated, Threaded Lids antique magic lantern A relatively humble but singularThese I am fairly certain are British, hand painted blonde wood, with threaded tops, mid 19th century or perhaps a bit earlier I believe. Lovely things, in lovely condition, useful for all sorts of things. Each 1 3 4" d x 1 3 4" t. Sold as a pair. A few small nicks around the bottom edges of the tops and general light wear; overall very good condition.
