Vintage Round EMBROIDERED TRINKET BOX Oriental Golfer!

Vintage Round EMBROIDERED TRINKET BOX Oriental Golfer! - eBay (item 310033266142 end time Mar-25-08 18:51:56 PDT)

This vintage embroidered trinket box is small and round with an oriental design on the lid, black satin sides and red brocade lining inside. It looks like there's a golf bag behind the man. I see no maker's mark.

The embroidery is somewhat soiled and still good except for the gold threads which are coming loose. The lid fabric is threadbare around the edge.

The bottom is plain white paper with a penciled "60.00" written on it. The red brocade lining is in good condition with two minor stains. The lid fits snugly.

It measures 3 1/4 inches across and almost 2 inches high. The bottom is 1 inch deep.

Ornate 5-In ELEPHANT TRINKET BOX Kneeling, Round Basket

Ornate 5-In ELEPHANT TRINKET BOX Kneeling, Round Basket - eBay (item 310020891352 end time Feb-12-08 18:26:34 PST)

This ornate trinket box is a kneeling elephant with upraised trunk and a round basket on his back. I think it's made of composition, which seems like a light weight fake ceramic material. I see no maker's mark anywhere.

The inner box is a half round almost three inches across and half that deep. It measures 4 1/2 inches long, almost 3 1/2 inches wide and 5 1/2 inches high.

The elephant is wearing elaborate side panels and the basket has a woven reed design with curlicues and fringe. I've had it for awhile and I like it, but never found something wonderful for it to hold. Maybe you can figure something great to put in it.
