How do I hang an antique box safely?

Utilise the existing mounting points or secure brackets that match the weight and age of the specific timber piece. Consult a professional restorer if the original hanging loops require reinforcement to protect the old wood.

Candle boxes often feature tapered rectangular bodies with sliding or hinged lids designed to protect tallow or wax dips. Salt boxes usually present an open front with a high backboard containing a hanging hole, protecting dry salt from kitchen humidity.
