Mid-Century Sculptural Brutalist Pewter and Burl Wood Decorative Box, 1960s

About the Item

This very unusual brutalist-lidded box was hand-crafted in France in the 1960s. The piece boasts a rectangular shape with burl wood and pewter intricately mixed and displayed to form an impressive design with a distressed finish patina. The fusion of wooden material in the design imparts a sense of natural warmth and tactile appeal, complementing the sleek and modern look of the pewter metal finish. These two elements combined provide a harmonious blend of industrial and organic aesthetics. A maker's mark is hot stamped on the underside but so far, we have been unable to identify the artist. The decorative box is in good condition, with minor wear on the metal, but it does not significantly affect the overall appearance. Measurements: 5.94 in wide (15 cm) x 3.94 in deep (10 cm) x 2.19 in high (5.5 cm).
