Early Scrub Box Table Version

What I favor most about this wonderful scrub box is not only the rare small size but the gorgeous patina as well. If you are limited for space and who isn’t…..this piece will fit just about anywhere of your choosing. The civil war era silverware and old lye soap are also included and look great displayed inside this scrub box. This hand fashioned mid to late 19th century piece of treen was used to scrub silverware and small items for cleaning purposes. The soap stands at the ready nestled in the deep well located on the right. The scrub area that has appropriate wear and a slight indentation from use exhibits three tiny hand cut nails near the front edge as referenced in image 15. At some point the right leg went missing so Harry did a “make-do” repair to replace it as shown in images 4 & 20 which was no easy task. The front area below the scrubbing portion also needed to be added as well. I color matched the patina as shown in images 5, 6 & 19. There is appropriate nail bleed
