Picked up this sexy piece at a thrift store knowing I could restore it. Now that I have, and now that I am trying to list it, I'm having a brain freeze!

I took stabs in the dark when choosing styles and tags.

Any idea about how to describe it and what to call it?
The style?
Tags?
And if my price is appropriate?

I would appreciate any ideas.

It looks Victorian
First pic looks a little too close
Hard to decipher
Looks cool
About price I don't know but seems inexpensive

I thought at first it might be a victorian hair receiver but most of those have a hole in the top. So a trinket box is my next best guess.

looks like an urn to me

I also sell vintage and would list it as an urn. The price is right on the money!

[LUSCIOUSLEATHERNYC]

So what is it ?
: )

[NutfieldWeaver]

"conversation piece" might work as a tag...

[RockySpringsVintage]

I would use it for potpourri. I am like you, it's an interesting piece and most likely, an urn.

Corinthian Column box , finial , floral scroll, acanthus leaf. Arichitectural.
Those are words I would use to describe it.
Happy HannaRamaKwaansmas!

is it flocked on the inside?Maybe a victorian salt box?

[Former_Member]

My very first thought was some sort of statue or fountain... I might be tired this morning :) I think it needs to be photographed so that the size is in context and the picture shows the whole piece.

Antique Box
Cigar/Pipe Box
Money Box
Keepsake

Base of a table lamp?

I guess it's a fancy victorian column thingy with velvet lining a lid in which to put stuff. (ha!)

Thanks everyone! I have yet to change the tags and title, but I will use ALL of your suggestions.

I had a great time reading your answers and hearing your advice.

Oh... I also wanted to acknowledge your comments about the thingy being out of focus.
I have poor vision, so I appreciate you pointing out what I can't see.

I often don't know something is out of focus until it's actually posted and I see it full size... then have to come back to it when I've taken more pics. This one, I didn't even realize was out of focus until ya'll told me!

I'll re-shoot it after the rush.

peace,
liz

It looks like a lamp base to me.

Could it be a tea caddy?

[Former_Member]

Maybe also candy dish?

Neat little find!
