Description

The listing, Sarah and Josiah ~ Vintage Union Box has ended.

This is Sarah and Josiah Litchfield, circa 1860's. This is actually a very nice Union Box. It's fairly big, about 4 and 1/2 inches by 3 and 1/2 inches. The carving is very ornate, the case is in very good condition. Other than the broken binding there are no mars on the box at all.

Questions & Comments

That is awesome, but why give up the Great grandparents for adoption? (I'd be proud to give them a home though) ;-)

I love this item - was never sure what these types of photographs/frames/holders were called. Is 'Union Box' the correct term?

If you have lots of antiques to sell there is a great Flea Market called The Elephant Trunk on the west side of CT , near Roxbury. It's amazing!!

Nice!! I really do...next week end we have to drive to VA and clean our storage unit out. I have 3 beds..a brass bed, sleigh bed w/ milk paint and a four poster with acorns carved in them. Dressers that go with each...all of my Rosewood furniture..there is a red velvet love seat with a ferocious North wind carved in the center..just so much..and this house is so small. I will remember that name! xx
