A lovely trinket box, not antique, but hand-painted, with a map of Bermuda based on a 1676 map of the Atlantic island. The box has an oblong shape, with its greatest length and width 5 and 4 cm respectively, and it is about 2.5 cm in height at its tallest -- its lid has a convexity to it. A brass rim and hinge lines the lid opening, bottom and top pieces. Particularly nice is the cartouche above the map proper. We can't speak to the rarity of the piece -- we couldn't find the box in our quickie Google search, although we did find numerous other enamel trinket boxes sold by Bluck's from around the same time. Bluck's was a Bermuda jewelry, china and antique store that went back to 1844; it went out of business in 2005. The map decoration would certainly seem a natural souvenir for a Bermuda vacationer. Given that it was hand-painted, though, we also would doubt that a profusion of these boxes were made. Our dating is circa 1990, based on the date of other trinket boxes in the collection from which this came. Obviously the early aughts provide a latest possible date.

Condiciones de env�o

The shipping cost provided automatically by ABE assumes that the item is the size of an average hardcover book. Since our stock is comprised largely of material which is bigger and heavier, we will often need to request additional shipping charges as a result. We pride ourselves on always packing safely, with the actual materials and method of packing depending on the item(s), where it is going, and with whom we are shipping. We most frequently use the post office, but on some high value items, or upon request, we may use alternatively UPS or FedEx. With the postal service, to domestic destinations with lower value items and the automatically furnished ABE shipping quote, we will usually use Media Mail; on higher value items we are partial to Priority or Express Mail. We will always seek to comply with a customer's wishes if they are communicated to us. When we seek additional shipping charges, we pass along those charges at our cost -- we do not add for handling or materials generally.
