A fantastic little wooden box in a bird´s eye maple, in a lovely mellow colour and typical of the period. The lines are very clean with curved edges and corners, and the slightest protruding shaped curved section to the lid top just above the chromed handle. The hinge is likewise a piece of art, dovetailed and fully integrated in the back panel, almost made invisible. The inside is very clean and also in Bird´s eye maple, further emphasizing the quality of this piece. It perfectly fits pens and would make an excellent desk tidy – but it would be equally great for business cards, small photographs, cigarettes or other (small) items you wish to keep safe.
Size: 6-3/4 x 3-5/8 x 1-7/8 inches (17.2 x 9 x 4.7 cm)
Condition: Good! The lid with some signs of shrinkage and splitting on the front left corner. The outside with general marks and wear consistent with age and use. (see images) It closes well but not fully flush. The hinge is quite squeaky but holds the lid open at any width very well.
