Antique Victorian Japanned Toleware Tin Hand Painted Daisies Collar Box
Up for your consideration is a delightful antique Victorian cylindrical storage box, originally designed to store men's stiff detachable collars or dressing table vanity wares.
Dating to the late 19th century (circa 1880-1900), the box is made of sturdy sheet tin finished with a deep black japanned background. The top and front face are beautifully embellished with a hand-painted folk art motif of white and gold daisies nestled among green foliage. The back retains its original, highly stylized stamped metal hinge with a decorative scalloped/foliate profile.

This antique box remains in good, stable structural condition with a highly desirable aged patina. The original stamped hinge is securely attached and opens/closes smoothly. The black japanned finish exhibits authentic age wear, including fine surface scuffs, scratches, and clear wear to the black lacquer on the underside base from a lifetime of handling. The hand-painted flowers show minor rubbing but remain crisp and bright. The interior is clean and free of deep structural rust. Please review all high-resolution photos for an accurate assessment of its cosmetic condition.
