Perfect for the holiday season! This tabletop box stores and protects a collection of candy, jewelry or other small valuables. The Maple and Tulip Wood top features a distinctive bandsaw cut image of the Man of the hour, complete with sack of presents. The Maple box has beautiful curved Tulip Wood legs and candy cane hand pull and accents. 

The drawer bottoms are lined with a festive cloth to protect valuables. Feet are trimmed in felt to protect your tabletop. Finished with numerous coats of hand rubbed polyurethane and beeswax for a polished and durable finish.
