A charming vintage toleware desk tidy featuring hand-painted floral decoration in rich red, cream and soft green tones.
The piece is made from painted tin with a gently timeworn patina, and retains its original surface with visible brushwork and layered detailing typical of traditional toleware craftsmanship. The softly curved front and integrated side pen holder give it a practical yet decorative presence, ideal for a desk, hallway console or study.
The floral motif has a distinctly French decorative feel, making it a lovely accent piece as well as a functional organiser for letters, notepaper or stationery.

Good vintage condition with age-related wear. Some surface marks, minor paint loss and patina to the metal consistent with use and age, all adding to its character.
