A richly detailed cut-to-clear crystal table box is attributed to Val Saint Lambert, Belgium, circa 1920. This round lidded box features a thick, clear lead crystal body with vertical fluting and a star-cut base, paired with a striking ruby red overlay lid. The lid is deeply wheel-engraved in a continuous garland of stylized floral and foliate motifs—classic of VSL’s early 20th-century decorative vocabulary.

The red overlay is cut through with precision to reveal the clear crystal below, creating a vivid contrast and showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship for which Val Saint Lambert is known. The top also features a starburst-cut medallion at the center, echoing the pattern on the base. The lid rests neatly over the body without a hinge, typical of dresser and vanity boxes from the period.

Highly collectible and visually refined, this piece reflects the Art Deco era's blend of elegance and technical virtuosity.
