Description from the seller

Elegant Italian-made box, attributed to Tommaso Barbi, crafted in nickel-plated brass and datable to the 1960s–1970s. The object stands out for its formal, sober, and refined language, perfectly in line with the taste of Italian design in the mid-20th century.
The surface in nickel-plated metal gives the box a luminous and decorative presence, while the clean lines and the balance of proportions emphasize its versatility, making it ideal both as a functional element and as a display-worthy piece of furniture.
In generally good condition, it shows slight signs of time and use, consistent with age and usage, which do not compromise its charm or its aesthetic legibility.
An interesting piece for collectors and enthusiasts of vintage Italian design, particularly sought after for the recognizability of the name Tommaso Barbi and for the quality of the materials used.
