Antique Striped Gift Box with Portrait Medallion

This charming antique gift box features a cream and gold pinstriped cardboard body with a hinged lid showcasing an ornate gilt-framed oval portrait of a young woman in 1920s style. The interior lid bears a green seal with a lion-and-shield crest reading "Trade Mark / W.T. Co." The box shows age wear including corner losses, creasing, and some surface soiling consistent with its age — a piece with true character and patina. Originally likely a candy or stationery box, it would be stunning repurposed as a keepsake box on a vanity, displayed in a cabinet of curiosities, or styled into a dark academia or grandmillennial vignette.
