About the Item

Elegant Tessellated Stone Fossilized Wood Decorative Catchall Beveled Box, Possibly by Maitland Smith, 20th Century This elegant tessellated stone decorative box features a striking inlay of fossilized wood arranged in a precise brick-grid pattern, showcasing the natural beauty, textures, and striations of the stone. Smooth and cool to the touch, the tessellated stonework evokes a timeless sense of refinement. The fully removable lid reveals a beautifully finished amber honey hardwood interior with a beveled lip, offering both durability and warmth in contrast to the pale tan and beige stone exterior. The base is lined with black velvet. Though unsigned, the craftsmanship and design strongly recall the work of Maitland Smith, a luxury design house renowned for its tessellated stone objects and furniture during the late 20th century. Sleek, geometric, and versatile, this box reflects both Art Deco influences of the 1920s and 30s, with its emphasis on clean lines, symmetry, and luxe materials as well as Mid-Century Modern sensibilities, where natural textures and organic materials were celebrated in decorative arts. Designers like Karl Springer and Philip and Kelvin LaVerne also explored similar textural juxtapositions and elegant geometries, making this piece feel very much at home in the lineage of collectible modern design. Perfect for use as a catchall, jewelry box, or decorative accent, this piece is both practical and sculptural. Its pale neutral tones allow it to seamlessly complement a wide range of interiors, whether displayed on a desk, shelf, or dresser. Condition: Very small loss at one bottom corner (possibly in the stone); scratches to the interior base. Please review photos for details. This sophisticated decorative box would make a wonderful gift or addition to any collection of Art Deco, Mid-Century, or Maitland Smith decorative objects.
