FIBER ART BOX wood framed, Cool Gift international

Description

Incredible open-topped box with all 4 sides (check out all pictures!) made from hand-stitched, fiber art that's textured, dimensional, featuring these plants/flowers:
Grape Ivy
bloomed Coleus
Boston Fern
Asparagus Fern
Each of these artworks alone might sell for $25 yet here are all 4 together.

USE:
Use to
Put potted plants or silk flowers in -primary use
Secondary use -store items in, like seeds, balls of yarn, spools of thread, etc.

Each side of this box was originally a jiffy frame/yarn embroidery kit that was purchased in a crafters store. Each flower/plant was beautifully stitched (I believe it's crewl work) then framed.
Then all 4 frames were glued together at corners over a wooden base to create a box. It's 4 wall hangings in one transformed to be used instead of hanging on a wall. There is a wooden bottom but no top lid. Fantastic home decor. So rare, never saw anything else like this in my life. Fantastic find. Cool gift for someone who loves handmade, one-of-a-kinds.

Still strong & sturdy - if you put a real plant inside it, be careful when watering so that water doesn't get on the pictures, because sometimes water leaves marks. Each wall of this box is made of the stitched canvas-like fabric. There is no wood on the interior except for the frame edges. Inside, to protect the backing of the fiber art, crafter put in cardboard from the original jiffy frames boxes. You can't see it unless you peek your head in, and you can line interior of box with foil colored paper, but if it was me, I'd leave it as is.

Measurements:
Stitched artworks (not including frames around them) are 5 x 7 inches each
Frames: 8" long x 6" wide
Entire width of each side (that includes frame measurements plus other frames edges it's attached to): 8 1/2 inches wide
Interior: 7 x 7 inches
Top hole (that closes in a little over interior): 5 1/4 x 5 1/4"
Entire length: over 8 inches long

Condition: Great/Very good - there's minor little marks on frames, but that may have been the way they were made. Typical condition expected of very good vintage as this is. Fabric yarns were stitched on has aged slightly but nothing major. Threads still very vivid, colorful, and vibrant.

Super rare, beautiful home decor that'll blend beautifully in any home, modern or traditional.

final sale.
