A striking vintage decorative box by Maitland-Smith, showcasing the brand’s signature use of exotic materials and refined craftsmanship. The surface features a bold harlequin pattern executed in natural penshell, presenting rich amber tones contrasted against deep black for dramatic visual depth.
Penshell has long been favored in high-end decorative arts for its depth of color, subtle iridescence, and durability when compared to standard wood or veneer finishes. The substantial scale and elevated tassel base give the box a strong sculptural presence, allowing it to function as a statement object rather than a purely utilitarian container.
The box is framed with cast metal rope detailing, terminating in sculptural tassel forms that function as feet, elevating the piece both literally and visually. A coordinating metal handle crowns the lid, reinforcing the box’s luxurious, globally inspired aesthetic. Retains its original Maitland-Smith tag, confirming authenticity and period production.
Equally suited for display on a cocktail table, console, or credenza, this piece provides both visual structure and concealed storage within Hollywood Regency, Palm Beach Regency, and eclectic interiors.
