Art Deco Covered Ceramic Box by Boch Frères Keramis, La Louvière
Designed by Raymond Chevalier, Belgium, 1930s
A charming and highly decorative Art Deco covered box by Boch Frères Keramis, designed by Raymond Chevalier, reflecting the refined geometry and stylized floral vocabulary that made his work so distinctive. With its elegant octagonal form, gently domed lid and sculptural finial highlighted in gold, the piece combines functional design with a strong decorative presence.
The surface is enlivened with a vibrant hand-painted floral composition in mauve, aubergine, soft blue and warm ochre tones, balanced by rhythmic foliage and geometric accents. The crisp faceted form contrasts beautifully with the softness of the floral decoration — a hallmark of Art Deco’s dialogue between structure and ornament.
Originally conceived as a covered bonbonnière or decorative box, it works beautifully for sweets, small objects or simply as a sculptural accent. Its compact architectural shape makes it especially appealing as a collector’s piece or as part of a refined Art Deco display.
Presented in very good vintage condition, with light wear to the gilding and minor age-related imperfections consistent with period faience, adding to its authentic character.
Founded in 1841 in La Louvière, Boch Frères Keramis became one of Belgium’s leading ceramic manufactories, celebrated for its innovative Art Deco production. Under designers such as Raymond Chevalier, the factory created some of the most elegant and recognisable Belgian decorative ceramics of the 1920s and 1930s, now highly regarded by collectors.
