<p>[QUOTE="SYNCHRONCITY, post: 2421403, member: 6283"]I saw this antique French wooden box on ebay and just bought it via Buy It Now. It hasn't arrived yet and in the seller's pictures, the top part of the box has what looks like a red satin or silk(?) tufted pillow. The interior of the box is lined with an old French antique newspaper, but looks like it may have once had a pillow in it or some other unknown insert and it was most likely removed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone know any websites that sell replacement insert pieces for these old boxes? It is a stupid question because I have a feeling there is no such thing, but I didn't think it would hurt asking. It bothers me that the other tufted pillow or insert is missing because I have OCD about these type of things, lol. </p><p><br /></p><p>If not, do any of you have ideas of what I could do to add to the box to make it look prettier inside or should I just leave it as is? I am new to collecting antique boxes and am not good at sewing, otherwise I would make a new custom made tufted cushion myself. If there was a video tutorial somewhere, I might be able to learn how to make one myself, but I couldn't find one anywhere. Does anyone know of one?
