This Art Deco decorative storage box dates from 1930 and follows a simple rectangular form. The exterior displays a burr walnut veneer with rich swirling grain patterns in warm brown tones, complemented by contrasting black ebony stringing along the lid rim. The hinged lid opens to reveal a pale wood interior fitted with two compartments and a central adjustable divider. With a width of 18 cm, this box provides a compact storage solution suitable for modern interiors. In a contemporary home, this piece works well on an office desk, in a study, or within a sitting room. It functions effectively as a desk tidy for small office accessories, a container for business cards, or a trinket box. The geometric styling and natural wood grain integrate smoothly with both traditional and modern desk arrangements, offering a practical accessory that keeps small items organised while adding a decorative element to a work space or living area.

FAQs

Art Deco design from the 1920s and 1930s favoured clean geometric silhouettes paired with highly figured wood veneers, such as burr walnut, often trimmed with contrasting ebony or bone stringing.

These pieces feature thin veneers of burr walnut cut from root burls, applied over a solid hardwood or pine substrate, accented with fine ebony wood inlay or stringing around the edges.

Authentic pieces display characteristic swirl pattern graining unique to burl wood, sharp geometric edges, brass quadrant hinges, and often a cedar or velvet lining originally intended for cigars or cigarettes.

Place the box atop an office desk, a console table, or a bookshelf to serve as a functional storage container for business cards, stationery, or trinkets while adding warmth and texture.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish periodically, avoiding harsh chemical sprays, excess moisture, or direct sunlight to prevent veneer lifting.
