Benton Box, Large Hand-Cast Bronze Decorative Box

About the Item

The BENTON BOX is more than just a container - it's a visual narrative infused with the gravitas of ceremonial boxes from eras past. Its form is articulate and sculptural, each curve and line speaking a language of extraordinary exoticism. This is not a quiet piece that fades into the background, but a proud statement that demands attention. Hand-cast in bronze, BENTON nods to the creative genius of Line Vautrin. It takes inspiration from her artistry and textured works, imbuing the box with a sense of history and craftsmanship that feels both nostalgic and fresh. The bronze elements of the BENTON BOX are not static but dynamic, their character set to evolve as the patina deepens over time. This is a piece that invites us to observe not just its current form, but also its journey. With the BENTON BOX, we hold in our hands not just an object, but a testament to the passage of time and the enduring allure of expert craftsmanship.

    By Line Vautrin
    Located in Atlanta, GA
    A wonderful jewelry box in silvered cast bronze by Parisian art jeweler Line Vautrin (1913-1997). From a small special series, the designer created circa 1945-55. on which poems were cast in relief on the cover. Most existing examples features poems that are well-known. This poem, however, was not identified by us, and possibly is a creation of the artist herself. It is a very soulful prose (see the full poem in French below). Signed on the base as shown. We have a gilt bronze box with the same relief cast poem that comes with a three-page Certification in French by Comite Line Vautrin, shown in some photos as well. Reference: For other boxes with poems see "Line Vautrin Sculptor, Jeweller, Magician by Line Vautrin and Patrick Mauries, page 42.
