Antique McGraw Box Company cedar jewelry chest with original maker’s stamp and 1926 patent date. Professionally packed for fragile shipment. Ships next business day. Full refund if damaged in transit.
This early American cedar keepsake box features classic box-joint construction, a domed lid, and original brass strap hardware with riveted mounts, giving the piece a strong Art Deco era presence.
The warm aromatic cedar grain and aged brass create a beautiful antique patina that displays exceptionally well on a dresser, vanity, desk, or shelf.
Inside, the chest retains its original blue patterned textile lining, traditionally used in early 20th-century jewelry and document boxes to protect delicate items.
The interior stamp reads “McGraw Box Co. Mfrs. McGraw, New York – Patented August 24, 1926,” confirming the maker and patent date for the design.
Boxes from the McGraw Box Company were popular during the late 1920s and early 1930s as personal storage chests for jewelry, letters, gloves, and treasured keepsakes.
The piece remains structurally solid with original hardware intact and attractive age-appropriate wear. A visible hairline crack runs across the lid as shown in photos but does not affect functionality and is typical for aromatic cedar pieces approaching a century old.
This authentic antique cedar jewelry chest offers both practical storage and classic early American decorative appeal.
