Antique Art Deco Mother of Pearl Trinket Box
An exquisite 1920s faceted keepsake box, hand-crafted from individually cut panels of luminous mother-of-pearl. Arranged like the facets of a finely cut gemstone, each piece catches the light differently, revealing soft notes of ivory, lavender and pale aqua that shift gently as it is turned in the hand. Raised upon four delicate brass feet, the hexagonal box opens to reveal a jewel-like interior lined in rich soft green silk. Though wonderfully suited to safeguarding rings, earrings or treasured heirlooms, it is equally charming as a bedside companion for pills or tiny everyday essentials on the dressing table. Both sculptural and functional, it is a piece that celebrates the extraordinary craftsmanship of the Art Deco period—where even the smallest domestic objects were conceived as works of art. A beautiful acquisition for the discerning collector.
