New England Vinegar Painted Candle Box

New England Style Grained Candle Box

The decoration on this piece imitates "vinegar" painting -- the overcoat of paint was mixed with vinegar to make a glaze and then modeled with a soft material such as putty. This technique is associated with chests and boxes from New England, especially Maine, in the early 1800's.

In addition to it's traditional use of protecting candles from mice, all our candle boxes are just right to fit cd's!
