Vintage Wooden Ex-Museum of Carlisle Romano British Collection Storage Box

Once used in Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery which was opened by the Carlisle Corporation in 1893. These wooden boxes would have stored the museum's vast and varied collection of Roman artefacts.

Hand made from plywood with hand painted lettering, these boxes probably date to around the 1950s and are no longer suitable for continuing to conserve the objects contained within.

Each box is sold individually and has various amounts of wear and tear including scratches, scuffs, chips, splits, paint splatters, old lacquer finish and general marks, along with differences in colour. We have multiples in stock all with similar amounts of wear.

These boxes are a fantastic, unique storage solution. Not only aesthetically pleasing with an interesting history, they are very practical too.

Please note you will receive a box picked at random.

Each box measures approximately 42cm wide handle to handle, 33cm deep and 25.5cm tall. While inside measures 36cm wide and 30.5cm deep.
