About the Item
Early 20th Century Bronze Crab Form Lidded Box
A finely cast and whimsical early 20th century bronze box in the form of a lifelike crab. Rendered with exceptional naturalistic detail, this sculptural piece features realistic texturing on the carapace, claws, and legs, capturing the crab’s form in mid-motion. The hinged top shell opens to reveal a shallow interior compartment, making it ideal for use as a trinket box, desk accessory, or conversation piece. The patinated bronze surface adds depth and warmth, enhancing its sculptural appeal. Measuring approximately 11.5" wide by 8.5" deep, it is a charming example of animal-themed decorative art from the early 1900s, perfect for collectors of maritime or naturalistic objets d’art.
