Italian box containing games in burl ART DECO

About the Item

This extraordinary Art Deco-style game box represents a veritable treasure trove of 1920s Italian design and entertainment. Made of fine walnut burl, it is distinguished by the refinement of its curved lines and the quality of its materials, undisputed symbols of the elegance of the period. Stored inside the box are various original board games of the period, still in excellent condition: dice, dominoes, playing cards, colored chips, score cards and poker accessories. Each compartment is perfectly organized, a testament to the attention to detail and taste for conviviality typical of the roaring years. It is opened by a metal handle, which lends solidity and an industrial chic touch to the piece. The outer lid is embellished with four metal decorations depicting the four playing cards (hearts, diamonds, clubs and spades), an elegant and symbolic detail that immediately reveals the playful nature of the object. An ideal complement for vintage design collectors, vintage game enthusiasts or those who wish to furnish a study, classic living room or bookcase with a decorative object of great historical and artistic charm. n addition to being an object of entertainment, this box is also an elegant piece of furniture that reflects the style and elegance of Italian Art Deco. Perfect for collectors, vintage game enthusiasts or as a distinctive element in classic and refined settings.
