Early 20th C. Liberty & Co. Arts & Crafts Log Box Once Owned by Hollywood Star

About the Item

Early 20th c., England, a hammered and repousse decorated copper sheet metal over wood box, the hinged slated lid decorated with in Arts & Crafts style. A wonderful Liberty & Co. Arts & Crafts (attributed) copper log box, dating to circa 1900-1910, with excellent patina and colour. Entirely cased in planished copper with hand made rivets. The design on the lid is of a stylized triquetra associated with the Celtic Mother Goddess and depicted her triune nature (the maiden, the mother, and the wise, old woman). The triple identity was an essential feature in many aspects of druidic belief and practice. Later, Irish and Scottish monks adopted the Triquetra as a symbol of the Christian Trinity known as a celtic cross. Dimensions: 16"h x 23"w x 14"d Condition: Good. The copper has acquired a lovely deep patina, showing scattered nicks, scratches and edges bends. The wood box has some splintering typical of age and use. Provenance: From the Collection of a Hollywood Leading Man (Richard Gere).
