About the Item

This remarkable modernist decorative box dates back to the 1970s. The piece boasts a tall structure that will capture anyone's attention. The box is square and features an interior made of solid tropical wood. What's unique about this box is the geometric wood marquetry patchwork, which adds a touch of elegance to its overall design. A chromed metal finial handle and feet complement the box's aesthetic appeal. There is no visible designer's mark. Dimensions: 8 in wide (20 cm) by 8 in deep (20 cm) by 13 in high (33 cm).
