A 1930s Art Deco Hand-Carved Oak French Box
About the Item
This is a 1930s French Art Deco hand-carved oak box, showcasing a unique blend of craftsmanship and geometric flair characteristic of the Art Deco period.
Solid oak wood, noted for its rich, warm tone and durability. The grain and finish suggest a hand-applied stain, enhancing its natural texture. The box has a distinctly rectilinear silhouette with rounded corners and a layered base, reflecting the streamlined elegance of Art Deco design. The top and base mirror each other in form, creating a balanced profile. Intricate hand-carved fan or sunburst motifs embellish the corners of the lid, a classic Art Deco motif symbolizing optimism and modernity. These carvings are both decorative and well-integrated into the overall form. Small brass bronze-tone metal fittings secure the corners, providing both structural reinforcement and an industrial accent that complements the wood.
The handle is geometric and raised, almost sculptural, reinforcing the era's fascination with bold, clean shapes.
This type of box has been used as a keepsake, jewelry, or trinket box, often found in elegant French interiors of the early 20th century. It combines functionality with decorative art, making it a collectible item today.
