Dissecting Drawer Box. Circa 1880. Handsome burled wooden box with drawer is shown empty, then closed. When reopened, the box is filled to overflowing with flowers, cards, silks, and even livestock. These are removed from the drawer, which is closed again. When reopened for the second time, another production is made. Box may be “dissected” by unhinging it and displaying the interior. 5 x 6 ? x 9 ?". Minor chips and splits, but very good overall. A handsome example of this scarce Victorian prop. Said to be from the collection of John Mulholland, and obtained from his wife Pauline by Charles Kalish.
