Vintage Repoussé Silver-Tone Metal Wrapped Wood Box | Floral Relief

Store your keepsakes in high-contrast style with this vintage wooden box, wrapped in a striking sheet of stamped, silver-tone metal. The exterior features a high-relief repoussé design of scrolling acanthus leaves and stylized floral medallions, giving it a rich, textural appearance similar to ecclesiastical or baroque metalwork. While the specific metal composition is unmarked, it is non-magnetic and possesses a heavy, quality feel—likely silver plate or a silver-toned brass alloy over a sturdy wooden core.

The interior and base are lined with black felt/velvet, providing a soft landing for jewelry or desk accessories. Please note the unique hinge mechanism: The lid is designed without a stopping bracket, meaning it opens a full 180 degrees to lay completely flat behind the box. It does not stay propped open on its own unless placed against a wall or supported. This piece is in vintage condition with a handsome, darkened patina that highlights the depth of the embossed pattern.

Measurements (approximate - rounded to the nearest quarter inch):

VINTAGE & ANTIQUE
Vintage and antique items are pre-owned and aged goods. In most cases, we do not clean or polish any items that come into our shop. Once you remove an item's traces of age and patina it's not something you can reverse, so we leave those activities up to the buyer. We do not disassemble found art from their frames unless it is necessary to differentiate a print from an original piece of art. Vintage prints purchased from this shop could originate from any print media (e.g., magazines, books, photographs, art prints, etc.). We try our best to describe items accurately and disclose any and all flaws and imperfections. Please refer to pictures as a visual description. We want to make sure you are happy with your purchase so, please do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have prior to checkout.

SHIPPING
As much as possible, we utilize recycled shipping boxes. The box you receive your item in may show signs of wear and pre-use.

PHOTOGRAPHY
All photos are taken in natural light and we do not use any photo filters and do not perform and photo editing (other than basic photo cropping). Depending on your monitor settings, there may be subtle differences in color once you see your item in person.
