Seller's description

Inspired by the charm of old French advertising, this oval wooden keepsake box has been hand-embellished with a vintage advertisement for the 1889 Exposition Universelle in Paris, along with a French postcard design bearing an Eiffel Tower cancellation stamp.

Finished in antiqued, crackled white with black lettering and a subtle hint of pink, this box has the well-loved character of an old European keepsake. The natural wood interior and bottom provide a simple contrast to the aged finish.

Display it on a shelf, dresser, or tabletop as part of a French Country or vintage-inspired collection. It would also make a thoughtful gift for a World's Fair enthusiast, vintage advertising collector, or anyone who loves the timeless charm of Paris. Use it to hold small treasures or to present a special gift.

Many Gray Horse Farm pieces are made from wood, fabric, or repurposed materials. Intentional markings, variations, and antiqued finishes are part of the design and contribute to the individual character of each piece. Staining and other finishing techniques may be used to create an aged or primitive appearance, so no two pieces are exactly alike.
