How to sell

A DUTCH SATINWOOD AND PARCEL-GILT CARVED WOOD MAGIC TRICK BOX
LATE 18TH CENTURY
Of stepped square shape with a central fluted column surmounted by a pineapple finial enclosing a circular aperture
25.5 cm. high x 16.5 cm. wide x 16.5 cm. deep

Specialist note

The circular aperture below the column can be moved by pushing one of the four feet. When the foot is moved an identical second aperture is moved under the column, thereby facilitating a dissapearing trick or so called teleportation.
