Early Toleware Document Box with Vibrant Flowers (Buckley Shop, ME)
Early 1800’s hinged document box with domed lid and unusual brass handle. Colorful handpainted floral pattern on the face with rick-rack style design on each end. This piece came with a document (included), which indicates that it may have originated from The Buckley Shop, owned by Oliver Buckley, and located in what was once called Stevens Plains, Maine (now a landmass comprising Falmouth, Portland, South Portland, Cape Elizabeth and other surrounding towns). The Buckley shop operated from 1807-1855 and was extremely successful. Lots of patina and wear commensurate with its age. A beautiful and historical piece, with a touch of mystery.
