Vintage Multi-Compartment Wooden Jewelry Chest

This is a small, vintage jewelry box crafted from wood with a warm, reddish-brown satin finish, likely mahogany or cherry stained pine. The piece features a scalloped lift-top lid that opens to reveal a rectangular inset mirror on the interior underside. The main storage area is divided into twelve uniform square compartments, each lined with a mustard-yellow or ochre flocking material (felted fabric) to protect delicate items. Below the main compartment is a single pull-out drawer, which shares the same scalloped base design as the lid. The box is accented with antique-style dark metal hardware, including two ornate bail-pull handles on the front and two visible brass-tone hinges at the rear. The construction shows typical mass-market vintage craftsmanship from the late 20th century (circa 1970s-1980s). Condition-wise, the exterior shows light surface scratches and minor edge wear consistent with age, particularly along the top edges of the lid. The interior flocking appears mostly intact but shows some darkening from use. The mirror is clear without visible silvering loss, and the scalloped base provides a sturdy footing for the chest.
