Antique French Country Carved 16.5" Wall Pocket, Mail or Newspaper, Brush Caddy First Empire fan flask inside

flask inside

likely perfectly sized for an old French Bru or bisque doll and almost like dressing table top jewelry :)

You can see age to the interior

I don't think it is 16k or 18k

This hand mirror is the older Victorian type

Antique French Country Carved 16.5" Wall Pocket, Mail or Newspaper, Brush Caddy First Empire fan flask insideFrench Country, a bit folksy, crafty, and so fun! This is a large mail newspaper caddy, entirely had crafted, carved. Over 16" high and 15" at widest, it tapes slightly from a depth of 4", and would have been hung to hold mail, newspapers, and such. I will admit, these were also made to hold slippers or brushes, but in our modern world, being a desk side or kitchen caddy seems to make the most sense. Although, wouldn't it be fabulous hung in a bedroom
