Description from the seller

Vintage Wooden Marquetry Jewelry/Trinket Box with Geometric Star Pattern – ca. 1960.

A charming, handmade wooden jewelry or trinket box from the latter half of the 20th century, decorated with inlay work (marquetry). The lid features a striking and skillfully crafted geometric pattern in the shape of an eight-pointed star (compass rose).

The box has an authentic, characterful appearance with a beautiful patina that testifies to its history. A atmospheric and functional decorative object that fits perfectly in both classical and modern interiors.
