Vintage Brass Cricket Box
A charming vintage brass cricket box, sometimes called a brass cricket cage, with an eight-sided shape and hinged lid.
Cricket boxes were once kept near the hearth, where the quiet chirping of a cricket was believed to bring warmth and good luck to the home. Whether or not the superstition is true, the piece itself carries that same sense of quiet history.
Today it makes a lovely little container for matches, keepsakes, or small treasures, and adds a bit of character to a shelf, desk, or coffee table.

• Beautiful aged patina

Condition
As with all vintage pieces, gentle signs of age and patina are part of its story.
