Hand Made Colonial Leather and Wood Jewelry Box, "Happy Hummingbird"
A hummingbird hovers amid flowers to feast on their sweet nectar. Portrayed in burnished tooled leather, the graceful images adorn a diminutive chest of drawers for keepsakes and treasures. Oscar Pastor crafts the jewelry box from wood and covers it in polychrome leather with an antique finish. The drawers open with wrought iron pulls, and a mirror is set inside the lid.

"Gorgeous jewelry box! Happy, indeed!"





I know I wrote a Testimonial for this years ago, but it must have gotten lost. This jewelry box looks stunning on my antique dresser. My husband picked it out for me as a Valentines Day or Birthday Gift (dont recall which now). Gorgeous details - excellent craftsmanship.
