AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The subject of this auction is a wooden box (casket) likely made during the interwar period using the techniques of intarsia and marquetry, decorated with a distinctive geometric motif that creates the illusion of three-dimensionality (the so-called Louis Cube).
Origin: Germany or France, where this type of craftsmanship in the Arts & Crafts and Folk Art styles was very popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Similar pieces of woodworking art can be found in the listings of auction houses and antique shops.
The box has a rectangular shape with a simple form resting on four small legs. The interior is lined with fabric and soft padding.
A beautiful piece of furniture for storage.
Height: 17 cm, width: 44 cm, depth: 40
Good condition; the item is used. The inlay inside the box (on the lid) has slight damage; the rest of the item is in very good condition for its age—please refer to the photos attached to the description. An original piece of history.
The item will be carefully packed and shipped with a tracking number.
We do not ship to Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Belarus, or the U.S. due to lack of availability.
