A finely crafted 19th-century wooden money box in the shape of a heart. Made from treen, it has developed a rich patina over time. The design features a coin slot at the top and an underside that unscrews, allowing access to stored contents. While primarily used as a money box, its concealed compartment suggests it may have also served as a small valuables or jewellery holder. The smooth, well-worn surface and deep colour enhance its character, making it both a functional and decorative piece.
