Early Vintage Spelter Jennings Brothers Art Deco Trinket Box

This striking antique jewelry box by the renowned Jennings Brothers captures the geometric elegance of the Art Deco era, dating closely to the 1920s or 1930s. Crafted from what is likely cast white metal or spelter with a beautifully aged, pewter-toned patina, the casket features bold radiating lines on the lid, fan or sunburst motifs on the front and back, and rests on four subtle ball feet. Lifting the heavy hinged lid reveals a luxurious, deep crimson velvet-lined interior, providing a rich, moody contrast to the dark metal exterior that fits perfectly into a dark academia or vintage vanity vignette. The underside is just as thoughtfully designed, featuring a textural fleur-de-lis pattern alongside the stamped maker's mark "JB 1568". Please note that this piece wears its century of history authentically; alongside natural wear to the patina, there is a visible dent and small structural split along the upper edge of the front fan detail. Despite this character mark, it remains a handsome and highly displayable piece of early 20th-century metalware.

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 any 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.
