Fabric Inlay Box Appraisal

Vintage Floral Fabric Inlay Wooden Trinket Box

This rectangular trinket or jewelry box features a medium-toned wood construction, likely teak or cedar, with a decorative fabric inlay on the lid. The lid is framed with mitered wooden edges, enclosing a textile panel with a dense, multicolor floral pattern in shades of rose, burgundy, and muted violet. The box is secured by a front-mounted brass-toned clasp with a simple thumb-latch mechanism. Its overall dimensions appear to be approximately 8 inches by 5 inches. The design aesthetic suggests a mid-20th-century origin, possibly the 1960s or 1970s, reflecting a popular home craft or giftware style from that period. The condition shows light surface wear commensurate with age, including minor scuffing on the wooden corners and slight oxidation on the metal hardware. There is no visible maker's mark or signature from this angle, but the clean lines and joinery indicate a mass-market production quality aimed at the tabletop decor market. The fabric appears intact without apparent fraying or significant fading.
