This antique box is mainly for display purposes. You can place it on a shelf or in a display case to add a touch of vintage charm. When handling it, be gentle as the box is used and may have some fragile parts like the chipped labels and split lid corners. To maintain it, keep it away from direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent further damage to the paper labels. If it gets dusty, you can use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it clean.
