Antique and Vintage Boxes and Cases
Antique and vintage boxes and cases are sought-after pieces that come in a variety of shapes, sizes and designs. The craft of making boxes dates back thousands of years to some of the earliest known wooden structures. There are now as many types of boxes and cases as there are artists.
Whether they’re pillboxes, pouches, trinket boxes, Victorian-era cigarette cases or another variety, boxes and cases can be eye-catching additions to home decor. Some of the most valuable antique boxes and cases are made from silver or gold. Over time, skilled artisans have experimented with adding varying layers of ornament to these objects, sometimes studding them with gemstones such as rubies or diamonds. Giving your desk an upgrade? While functional, a box or case can amount to the perfect finishing touch, adding a bit of class and sophistication to any room of a house or office.
Intricate pillboxes or sapphire cases from various periods are prime examples of boxes that can elevate a space. Smaller pillboxes, vintage jewelry boxes and cosmetic pieces can make an Art Deco dresser or cherished wood vanity look more luxurious. Slightly larger boxes, however, can keep personal belongings hidden from sight while adding interest to tabletops and shelves. When styling your home library, for example, don’t be afraid to integrate antique boxes and decorative objects or sculptures with your treasured art books.
