Early 20th Century Italian Document Boxes

About the Item

In the early 1900s, document boxes in the shape of ledgers or books were increasingly popular. Made of wood or more increasingly popular paperboard, they were a clever and stylish way to store documents or hidden treasures in offices and banks and frequently made appearances on bookshelves throughout the world. This set of three document boxes is a prime example of the craftsmanship of this simple storage solution. Decorated with green marble paper and colored strings, they are early 20th century, no doubt used as a filing system with corresponding labels. Italian in origin, these boxes are beautiful one-of-a-kind display pieces to adorn the modern bookshelf or office space, continuing the tradition of clever design and chic execution.
