This is a BEAUTIFUL copper clad box. In “as found condition”. I did not clean this at all. The new owner can do as they wish. I liked the old patina. Copper shell with lots of detail. Rustic brutalist/art deco exterior, manipulated copper with deliberate indents and “bubbles” or warts. From the Savoy Ballroom, Harlem, NYC? It is a wonderful, useful, gorgeous, masculine, organic look. It is so much more handsome in person. Missing a brass screw and one copper Tac. Hinges need screws that are more appropriate. See photos for best description.
