Antique Box

Delicate and beautiful, the Antique Box from Ugears is designed to keep your treasures safe—and to become a treasure in your collection. Pull the upper lid to activate three main blocks: two mirrored mechanisms on each side that move and turn the upper compartments, and a third mechanical block that opens the lower drawer in the middle of the box. After this little mechanical waltz, you'll gain access to six compartments ready to store your valuables. But the story doesn’t end there—discover two extra secret compartments by finding and pressing the hidden button on the back.

The sides of the model are adorned with exquisite floral carvings featuring oriental elements. To ensure your treasures are secure, the Antique Box is equipped with a locking latch. When closed, you can safely transport your box, turn it around, or flip it upside down without worrying about it opening or spilling its contents. 

Antique Box features:

  • Elegant floral carvings with oriental elements
  • 6 compartments for storing jewelry and small treasures
  • 2 hidden secret compartments activated by a concealed button
  • Locking latch to securely close and transport the box

    Good quality! Good instructions, turned out well.

    I liked the build, but compared to other models, I needed a hammer to join some of the parts. In addition, the mechanism does not work well for me due to excessive friction. The manual should probably emphasize sanding more.

    I loved assembling this model, and have generally been very happy with the product. However, I found that the rubber bands that control the "spring" mechanisms wore out and broke pretty early on. The box still functions, but it takes a little extra effort without the tension of the rubber bands. I wish that there were a way to replace the rubber parts with real metal springs which would not degrade so quickly.

    I have built 5 of these kits and gave them away as Christmas or birthday presents. A personal gift that is always greatly appreciated.

    Not happy with this build...parts missing or broken. What I COULD use suggested that I would probably be happy with finished product. I'm glad I purchased this for myself and not for a gift. Won't buy from this company again.

    Super idée de cadeau, même si un peu long et difficile parfois.
    Merci !

    I'm nearly done with it, and the gears have all seized up :(
    I can't close the box. It's very disappointing.

    Comprato a Lucca Comics, ho scelto la scatola antica. Montarla è stato piacevole e divertente, ed I meccanismi funzionano praticamente alla perfezione. Sto già pensando al prossimo modello!

    This is a very nice piece of work which I made for my 5 year old granddaughter who loves little boxes to hide things in. The mechanism is not easy to operate for a 5 year old so I was highly delighted when the central mechanism failed and removed the lower compartments from the action. The lid is now really easy to operate and the side boxes swing in and out freely - the bottom drawer pulls out separately and that doesn't really detract from the appeal of the finished item.
