About the Item
beautifully hand-turned Rosewood box crafted in Brazil during the 1950s, showcasing the elegance and richness of South American hardwoods. The form is both simple and sculptural—classic mid-century craftsmanship at its finest. The wood displays the characteristic deep figuring and warm luster that makes Brazilian Rosewood (Dalbergia nigra) one of the most prized materials in fine woodworking.
The interior is left unfinished, highlighting the natural qualities of the wood. This piece was previously used as a sculptural pedestal, adding elevation and visual weight beneath smaller artworks—proof of its versatility as both an object of function and design.
During the mid-20th century, Brazil emerged as a center of innovative furniture and decorative arts production, blending European modernism with the country’s rich natural materials and artisanal traditions. Rosewood—abundant at the time—was a favored material for its beauty and durability, though today it is strictly regulated due to overharvesting.
Please note: Due to international restrictions on Brazilian Rosewood, this item cannot be shipped outside the continental United States.
A timeless piece with rich character—perfect as a decorative box, display stand, or simply admired on its own.
