Large Hexagonal Wooden Trinket Box - Quilled Butterfly

This hinged lightweight wooden box would be ideal as either a trinket box or a jewellery box.  It has been hand painted, both inside and outside, and features a quilled butterfly and floral design on the lid.
 
The painstaking art of quilling involves strips of coloured card being individually cut and manipulated into the artist's chosen design.  Any items that feature quilling should not be placed in direct sunlight as the card may fade.
 
The outside has been painted grey and coated in a protective sealant.  While every effort has been made to seal the entire item, due to the intricate nature of the design it may be possible that not all areas have been reached.  Therefore it is not advisable to store it in a damp or humid environment as moisture will have an adverse effect.  
 
The inside has been painted purple with a little bee decoration on the inside of the lid.   The base is covered in a layer of soft felt to protect the box as well as your surfaces.
 
It has brass coloured metal hinges and latch fastening.
 
Total size is approximately 16cm W (point to point) x 14cm D (flat edge to flat edge) x 8.5cm H.  The inside measures approximately 14cm W (point to point) x 12.5cm D (flat edge to flat edge) x 6.5cm H.
