The interior measures approximately 21.8 cm (8.58 in.) in length and 9 cm (3.54 in.) in depth, offering a generous amount of space and making it suitable for use as a catchall, cigarette box, or for storing other small personal items.

Its minimalist design is beautifully contrasted by the rich, natural pattern of the burl wood, which provides the box with its main decorative element. The box is in good vintage condition. It has been carefully polished with a suitable product, while still retaining minor signs of age and use, including small surface scratches and slight oxidation marks. See less
