Description
A striking and historically evocative antique box, likely from the early to mid-20th century, crafted with panels of bone and adorned with brass detailing.
The bone panels have aged to a rich, warm patina, featuring natural variations and dark accents that give the piece incredible character and a rustic, aged aesthetic. The top of the box is particularly eye-catching, resembling salvaged wooden planks.
The front of the box features a central brass plaque with the country name “LEBANON” cut out, suggesting it was created as a souvenir or a decorative piece for the tourist trade, possibly in the historic souks of Beirut or other Lebanese cities. Additional brass trim with delicate beading and geometric patterns reinforces the edges and corners, giving the box a distinct Middle Eastern or Mediterranean flair.
This small treasure chest is ideal for holding jewelry, precious mementos, small documents, or simply as a distinctive decorative accent on a bookshelf or desk. It represents a wonderful piece of Lebanese craftsmanship and heritage.
