Art Nouveau casket with a portrait of a lady

About the Item

Introducing our exquisite Small Rectangular Box, a beautiful relic from the turn of the 20th century that showcases a captivating blend of artistic styles. This charming box is a testament to the craftsmanship and design sensibilities of its era. Crafted from wood and enveloped in wood-grain patterned veneer, the box exudes a timeless elegance. Its surface is adorned with golden geometric elements, a nod to the emerging Art Deco style, which adds a touch of sophistication and flair. At its heart, the box features a lithograph portrait of a Jugendstil lady, capturing the essence of the Art Nouveau movement. This delicate artwork is protected by a glass cover, preserving its beauty for generations to come. The box is framed in metal, originally brass-plated, though the patina of time has slightly altered its appearance. Instead of hinges, the lid is attached to the box with a fabric strap, a unique feature that adds to its antique charm. This Small Rectangular Box serves as both a functional storage solution and a captivating piece of art that represents the evolving design trends of the early 1900s. It is a window into the past, where craftsmanship and aesthetics intersected to create something truly special. Whether as a decorative accent or a cherished keepsake, this box adds a touch of vintage elegance to any space.
