About the Item

A charming midcentury carved owl-shaped box, crafted in Germany in the 1950s from linden wood in the traditional Black Forest style. Featuring expressive glass eyes and warm brown tones that highlight the natural wood grain, this piece blends folk art charm with practical function. The hand-carved surface—stylized and characterful—adds a unique artisan quality to the form. The owl’s head lifts off to reveal a hidden storage compartment, ideal for trinkets, keepsakes, or simply as a whimsical decorative accent. A true conversation piece that brings warmth and personality to any interior. Dimensions: Height: approx. 22 cm (8.7 in) Diameter: approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) In good vintage condition with light signs of aging and wear consistent with age and use. A delightful collectible for owl enthusiasts or lovers of traditional carved wood décor.
