Featured Small Wood Treen Box with Lid

Hoping the experts here can help with this little covered box. Lightweight with tight grain wood in a honey color, black "steeple" finial and 3 ball feet. About 5 3/4" tall to the top of the steeple, 3 1/4" diameter at its widest. Any idea on age or origin?
Thanks so much!

 

I don't know anything about it but just wanted to say it's beautiful!

 

Very lovely, ascot...thanks!

 

Really fine.

 

Oh, that is precious! Looks like a miniature (Dutch Biedermeier style?) tobacco jar:

JMHO, of course, but I'm not seeing any particular signs of significant age?
(Not an area of expertise for me... I'm curious to see what others will say.)
I would call it a turned wood jar, rather than box, but I know I'm splitting hairs.
It is very attractive.

 

It isn't very old, just in an older style.

 

Re Bluumz-Can u give us any micro closeups of the finish to show lacquer crackling,etc.

 

@ascot is the OP of this post, not me.

 

Think bosko meant following up on what you said, but directed at OP.

I don't know the first thing about it. Now, can I have it please? I love turned wood bowls & jars.

 

I've got a few old ones, Bronwen...I'll get some pics first, then a new post.

 

I don't think it's deeply aged, but doubt that it's contemporary...could easily have 50 to 80 years on it. Like Bronwen...me wantin'!

 

I got a bit hooked after buying a lidded vessel made in 1992 by Michael Mode. I remember choosing between 2 favorites by closing my eyes & selecting the one that felt better in my hands. I also sniffed to find out if wood still had any fragrance. No, but Michael told me a blind client had done that too.

 

So here are some close-up photos. Note that the color is off - way off. I've lightened the photos so you can better see the "age" of the wood. In person it looks exactly like my original photos. The box had a lot of cobwebs and spider eggs on it. I've not polished it, just wiped off the spidery stuff.

 

it's really sweet !

 

It may be new, but the shape looks Georgian to me.

Look at Regency knife boxes, or cutlery urns.
