A charming vintage hand painted metal wall pocket, decorated with large freehand roses in soft pinks, burgundy and green against a black background. Time has mellowed both the paint and the metal, giving it a wonderful aged patina that makes it as decorative as it is practical.

Designed to hang on the wall, it is ideal for storing letters, postcards, seed packets, recipes, magazines or craft supplies. The floral decoration has a folk art, toleware feel, while the untouched surface and honest wear give it real character.

The metal shows age-related oxidation and surface wear throughout, with losses to the painted decoration and a lovely rustic finish. These are part of its appeal and are reflected in the photographs.
