About the Item
A stunning mid-20th-century box veneered in rich Brazilian Rosewood, dating to circa 1940. The hinged lid is framed by a striking Dutch ripple-style molding, expertly carved from solid Rosewood, lending the piece a sculptural and elegant detail.
Crafted during the early modern period—a time of transition when designers began simplifying traditional forms—this box embodies the movement’s philosophy of distilling classical design to its essential elements. The elaborate Dutch ripple molding is rendered with restrained sophistication, bridging ornate heritage and modernist clarity.
The box is constructed from high-quality furniture-grade plywood, covered with a thick, richly figured veneer of Brazilian Rosewood that highlights the wood’s natural beauty. The molding itself is carved from solid Rosewood, emphasizing craftsmanship and tactile richness.
Brazilian Rosewood was prized in furniture making for its vibrant color, striking grain, and durability. Its luxurious appearance made it a favorite for fine veneers and high-end pieces, symbolizing elegance and artisanal skill.
Resting on turned bun feet that ground its presence with subtle elegance, the box’s generous yet practical size makes it both functional and decorative—ideal for storing treasured items or enhancing a sophisticated interior vignette.
This piece is a rare example of early modernism’s nuanced dialogue with tradition, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship, luxurious materials, and the timeless allure of Brazilian Rosewood.
