Nest of Boxes. Escondido: John Dahms, 1980s. Handsome handmade set of nesting hardwood boxes with deeply carved handles incorporated into each lid. A borrowed object vanishes, then reappears in the smallest of the nested boxes which are all tightly locked. An unusual example with rubbed mahogany finish and fancy brass strike plate to outer box. Original keys. Later instructions, and including one of the maker’s business cards. Largest box 7 ½ x 8 x 7 ¾”. Near fine. An exceptionally well-crafted set.
