The hand-fitted tiles form a beautiful concentric starburst pattern on the lid, radiating outward from a central turned bone finial knob.
Its compact 4.25-inch scale makes it an incredibly chic accent for a minimalist vanity, desktop, or stylized entry console.

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 labelled anchor pieces from this exact same purchase. See less
