The piece features a sturdy wooden core wrapped in coarse burlap, its form defined by brass banding rich with natural patina and secured with hand-hammered brass nails that lend a sense of artisanal character.

The lid lifts fully off, revealing a clean interior suitable for storage or display. Both rustic and sophisticated, the box bridges bohemian naturalism and colonial formality—an ideal accent for bookshelves, consoles, or curated tabletop arrangements.

Executed mid-20th century in the British Colonial tradition, this piece embodies understated luxury through its weathered textures and timeless material palette, making it a versatile statement within coastal, mid-century, or eclectic interiors. See less
