Description
An unusually large turned string box made from pine, with an outlet in the top and removable base, secured with wooden prongs that fit into a rebate. The box is beautifully turned and would hold a large ball of string of gardening twine, and dates from the late 19th or early 20th century.

declaration
Antique and Unique has clarified that the Large Antique Softwood String Box (LA533986) is genuinely of the period declared with the date/period of manufacture being c1900
condition
The box has a split down one side, and there is some damage around the string outlet and around the removable base - this was stuck in place when we acquired the box and I think the damage had been caused by people trying to remove it without realising that it needed to be turned. We have adjusted the fit of the base so that it is now easy to take off and put back on.
