A one-of-a-kind studio made tin featuring an early American folk art portrait inspired by nineteenth-century painted miniatures and fraktur traditions.

The lid has been finished with a charming portrait of a woman in a blue dress, complete with rosy cheeks, delicate jewellery and the direct gaze so often found in early American folk paintings. The contrast between the simple black tin and the naïve portrait creates a piece that feels both curious and collected.

Perfect for storing tiny treasures, sewing notions, buttons, jewellery, stamps or other small keepsakes. Equally at home displayed amongst antique books, folk art, textiles and treasured curiosities.

The vintage tin itself shows age, wear and surface marks, adding to its character and making each piece entirely unique.
