This charming painted metal box is a vibrant celebration of folk art and craftsmanship. The bold floral designs, featuring large red and pink flowers framed by green leaves, stand out against the black surface of the box, creating a lively contrast.

The bright gold swirls along the edges of the lid add a touch of whimsy, while the brass handle atop the box speaks to its practicality. Despite its decorative appearance, the box likely held personal treasures, making it a symbol of both beauty and utility.

This piece would bring warmth and character to any space, particularly those inspired by rustic, vintage, or bohemian aesthetics.

Created by Thomas Watts between 1935 and 1942, this box is a testament to his skill and artistic vision. Watts was known for his ability to infuse everyday objects with a sense of charm and personality, making his works highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of folk art.
