I believe this was made as a box for lingerie or handkerchiefs, but it would be great to hold chunky jewelry, or even as a sewing box. Hanky not included, I just wanted to give you an idea as to the size of this little box.
It measures 8" x 8" over the exterior, about 2" deep. Clean and nice inside and out, with very little wear, no fading or discoloration.
