French Art Deco Carved Love Doves Oak, Walnut and Rosewood Box Signed R.Vidal

About the Item

Very pretty Art Deco love letter box in carved walnut wood, would also be great to keep jewellery in. Two detailed carved doves lying in an amorous embrace pose on a wooden base in which a love letter compartment is 'hiding'. The 'box' part is made out of oak veneered with walnut, the inside of the box part is made of rosewood. The doves are made out of one piece of heavy walnut except for one of the tail tips, an extra piece of small walnut was used to finish the tail, probably a slight miscalculation made by Mr R. Vidal 100 years ago.
