Vintage Floral Swiss Folk Art Pencil Case
Vintage Floral Swiss Folk Art Pencil Case
This charming flat, hand painted floral art box - made in Switzerland - would be a charming addition to your desk or vanity.
The well proportioned flower design with the dark red and soft vanilla-white blooms and green leaves exude warmth and joy and are a delight to look at.
The painted words “sich regen bringt segen “ (to move brings blessings) could well be a life motto or at least a theme for the year…
“Bauernmalerei” is what this style of Swiss folk art is called, a form of peasant painting with the purpose of making everyday items beautiful.
The hinged lid opens easily and reveals 3 compartments for your writing utilities, jewelery and such.
The inside and the bottom are not painted.
This lovely rectangular, sturdy Spanschachtel - a version of a chipwood box - is in good vintage condition and makes for a wonderful gift for that creative friend who never has enough storage for their pencils.
This keepsake box will also look great on your altar, holding incense sticks, small crystals, pendulums, favorite herbs and such.
