The lining is fixed in place and does not lift out, so the wood behind it can’t be seen, and the original interior finish and fittings are not established. The front lid has a fine crack line and the back lid has another. Both are stable, with no loss and no movement. The black paper on the underside is lifting and has losses at the corners, with plain wood visible beneath. There is no key. The lid opens and closes freely, and no locking function is claimed. There is light wear to the lid edges and around the ring plate, consistent with age and not detracting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePlease review all photographs closely, as they form part of this description.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67636991426838,"sku":"ENM-2418","price":650.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/October2026-12463.jpg?v=1791589019","url":"https:\/\/austyn-marie.myshopify.com\/products\/antique-striped-satinwood-keepsake-box","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
