1880 Document Boxes
About the Item
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, document boxes in the shape of ledgers or books were increasingly popular. Made of wood or more increasingly popular paperboard, they were a clever and stylish way to store documents or hidden treasures in offices and banks and frequently made appearances on bookshelves throughout the world. This set of three document boxes is a prime example of the craftsmanship of this simple storage solution. Decorated with green marble paper and pinkish strings, they are labeled 1880, no doubt used as a filing system with corresponding labels. Italian in origin, these boxes are beautiful one-of-a-kind display pieces to adorn the modern bookshelf or office space, continuing the tradition of clever design and chic execution.

Delightfully colored in metallics and 24-karat gold, the vase features the trademark round faces and complex detail that made Wiinblad famous in the 20th century. Echoes of inspiration taken from a broad range of cultures and centuries, Wiinblad created an intricate and fantastical world for his figures to live in. The highly saturated colors live harmoniously amongst the organic twining vines and flora that adorns her head and the environment in which she resides. With such an undefined boundary of time and style...
