Very Handsome Antique Cigar Box Wood Chest with Alligatoring walking but I'll just take it

but I'll just take it on its face and say its a great looking painting

and I love the way it stands balanced on tail features with wire legs sticking out

no holes or issues

Hard to beat his original hand-drawn (in colored pencil) cover

Very Handsome Antique Cigar Box Wood Chest with Alligatoring walking but I'll just take itA beauty of an old tabletop chest, fashioned of cigar box wood but clearly with aspirations of being perceived as quite stately. With all original porcelain pulls, which were carefully secured with facing bits of wood on the inside of the drawers, and cigar box labels "Sea Spray" and"Country Cousin" visible on the drawer interiors, as if auto biographical messages sent across time. Nice alligatoring to the finish, too. Really made with a lot of care
