About the Item

Pair of mid-century burl wood boxes, each handcrafted and showcasing exceptional natural figuring. The set includes one rectangular box with beveled edges and a hinged lid that opens to a smooth, unfinished interior, and one round lidded box with a domed form and fitted top, turned from a single block of burl wood. Both pieces display the characteristic swirling grain, birdseye clusters, and tonal variations that make burl wood highly prized. The craftsmanship emphasizes clean lines and the natural beauty of the material, with each box offering completely unique patterns due to the irregular growth structure of burl. Likely produced in the mid-20th century, these boxes function equally well as practical storage for jewelry or desk accessories and as decorative display pieces. They are in excellent vintage condition with only minor wear consistent with age; the hinges on the rectangular box operate smoothly and the lids fit securely. From a private collection, this matched set is distinguished by its harmonious pairing, timeless design, and the inherent rarity of its material. Round Box - 4.5" diameter x 2.5"H Rectangle Box - 5.75"W x 3.5"D x 1.5"H
