This Art Deco jewellery box dates to 1920. The rectangular wooden body has a black textured leather casing and a hinged lid, complemented by a central brass keyhole escutcheon on the front panel. Additional visible details include a clean polished finish, subtle edge wear to the casing, and a brass lock. Measuring 14 cm high, 19 cm wide and 25 cm deep, the interior comprises a plush green velvet lined tray designed for storing multiple pieces of jewellery, with further storage space revealed underneath once the tray is removed. Suitable for a gentleman's library or study, this piece integrates well into a bedroom setting. It sits neatly on a bedside table, desk or dressing table to hold everyday accessories. The compact proportions allow it to fit comfortably on most surfaces while keeping valuables organised and secure. Its understated black finish coordinates easily with a range of interior styles.

FAQs

During the 1920s, jewellery boxes were constructed with sturdy wooden frames bound in fine textured leathers, featuring compact rectangular forms and secure brass locking mechanisms for personal dressing table use.

Antique jewellery boxes were typically crafted with a wooden core wrapped in leather, morocco, or shagreen, featuring interior velvet or silk linings and solid brass escutcheons.

Authentic 1920s pieces exhibit natural age-related wear to the leather grain, original brass locks often stamped with maker marks, precise hand-fitted interior trays, and period-appropriate hinges.

Place the box on a bedroom bedside table, dressing chest, or living room bookshelf to serve as a functional accent piece that adds visual texture.

Keep the box away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent drying, dust with a soft dry cloth, and apply a specialised leather wax polish sparingly to maintain moisture.
