The rare melon-shaped form is covered in a hand-carved mosaic of tessellated, antiqued bone tiles arranged in a graphic geometric pattern. The fitted lid integrates seamlessly into the curve of the spherical body and is topped with a turned finial knob. A gorgeous decorative accent that offers elegant hidden storage for jewelry or small keepsakes.

Collection Provenance: This piece belongs to a single-owner, matching luxury collection originally acquired together on the same day from an upscale estate in Nantucket, Massachusetts. While the fragile paper inventory tracking tags on this particular item have naturally worn away over time due to handling, it is a guaranteed, authentic Maitland-Smith production. It shares the identical high-gloss lacquered resin finish, country of origin, and artisan hand-cut bone tile construction as the fully labeled anchor pieces from this exact same purchase. See less
