About the Item

This striking 1970s storage box showcases a dynamic battle scene between a lion and an elephant, expertly rendered in early bone. Designed in the Art Deco style, the box features finely crafted hinges, a delicate front escutcheon, and functional chains that hold the lid open with elegance. The interior is lined in luxurious black velvet, highlighting its refined craftsmanship. The interior is eight inches deep. Attributed to Maitland Smith and likely made in India, this box remains in very good condition, offering a rare blend of artistry, design, and collectible appeal for enthusiasts of decorative objects from the mid 20th century.
