A decorative Arts & Crafts copper handkerchief box, showcasing the distinctive craftsmanship associated with the period.
Constructed from copper with an attractive hammered finish, the box is richly embellished with repoussé decoration - a traditional metalworking technique where the design is worked from the reverse side to create raised relief detail.
The surface is adorned with elegant floral and foliate motifs surrounding a central wording reading “Handkerchiefs,” adding both charm and functionality.
The hinged lid opens to reveal the original lined interior.
The warm tones of the aged copper, combined with the handcrafted detailing, give the piece wonderful character and decorative appeal. Originally intended for storing handkerchiefs or personal linens, it would now make a striking addition to an Arts & Crafts interior, dressing table, hallway or collector’s display.
A great collectors item or to add charm to an interior. An ideal storage box.
Dimensions: 18cm x 17.5cm x Height 8.5cm
Condition: The exterior copper is in nice order with lovely aged patina. The interior original lining is worn, but could easily be replaced with new if someone wanted to freshen it up inside.
