Antique of the Month - A Late 19th Century Oak Glove Box

The featured antique this month isn’t a maritime one. It’s a solid oak glove box from the mid-to-late 19th Century. It contains its original silk interior and has ornate probable silver or silver plate ornate decoration. It would have likely been kept either in or near a house’s entry or in the female owner’s bedroom. I hope you enjoy the photos. It’s a beauty!
