Charity box - antique church almoner - antique piggy bank box - offering box - Louis Philippe era - Iron (cast/wrought), Wood

Ancient almoner from the Louis Philippe era, first half of the 19th century.
Italian origin in solid wood, still reusable as a piggy bank or as a precious holder.
Highly antique and rare workmanship object. It is still in excellent condition (I highlight a small grain in the upper lid) on the other hand one can grant a "wrinkle of time" to such a beautiful object. Please note the particular workmanship of the wood, its joints and the beautiful original wrought iron hinges. Truly splendid object, ideal for decorating and embellishing high-quality interiors and unmissable for the most demanding collectors.
I ensure professional packaging and strictly insured shipping.
The key to the lock is not present.
Measures 36cm long, 25cm deep and 18cm high.
