A striking vintage decorative box by Maitland-Smith, handcrafted in the Philippines and distinguished by its unusual octagonal form, sculptural domed lid, and beautifully aged oxblood leather.
Inspired by traditional English leatherwork, the box features delicate gilt floral borders, embossed detailing, and a rich burgundy finish that has developed an appealing patina over time.
Its generous proportions and architectural silhouette make it a handsome statement piece for a library, study, or collected interior. Equally at home alongside antique books and objects of curiosity or providing an unexpected traditional accent in a contemporary setting.
The hinged lid opens to reveal a black-finished interior, with an original leather support strap. Retains its manufacturer's label reading "Hand Made in Philippines, Designed by Maitland-Smith Ltd."
