About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
This is a German decorative box from the early 20th century, crafted in the Art Nouveau style. The piece is distinguished by its intricate brass inlay, which forms a delicate floral and foliate pattern across the lid, a hallmark of the Jugendstil movement's emphasis on natural forms.
Constructed from a dark-toned wood with a rich grain, the rectangular box features fine craftsmanship. The lid is adorned with precisely cut brass elements set flush into the wood, creating a central medallion surrounded by scrolling vines and leaves. The corners are reinforced with decorative brass hardware, adding both structural integrity and aesthetic detail. The interior is lined with a soft red textile, providing a protected space for storing keepsakes or jewellery.
The box is in good condition, consistent with its age of over a century. It retains its original finish and hardware, showcasing a natural patina that contributes to its authentic character. The hinged lid opens smoothly to reveal the clean, well-preserved interior compartment.
As a functional piece of decorative art, this box is well-suited for display on a dressing table, desk, or console. Its classic Art Nouveau design allows it to integrate seamlessly into both traditional and eclectic interiors, serving as an elegant storage solution or a standalone decorative object.
