I bought this a long time ago at an antique shop. I had it displayed in my kitchen, but I'm selling it because I'm moving. From the AI mode description below... Material: Made of tin or metal, with an enamel or painted finish. Design: The floral pattern in the image is similar in style to "Fractur," a Pennsylvania Dutch (German immigrant) folk art, and "Rosemaling," a traditional Scandinavian decorative pattern. It features a rustic and warm atmosphere. Usage: Originally used in kitchens or near fireplaces to store large matchboxes (like standard-sized matches) for household use. Nowadays, it's popular not only as a practical item but also as an antique interior decoration to adorn the walls of kitchens and living rooms.
