Description
This stunning vintage Italian giltwood box captures the artistry of mid-century Florentine design. Hand-carved from solid wood and finished in traditional gold leaf over a warm red bole, it embodies Old World opulence. The abstract leaf relief evokes Baroque Revival elegance while nodding to the Hollywood Regency era’s love for glamour and texture.
Perfect for storing jewelry, keys, or small treasures — or simply as a sculptural statement piece on a console, vanity, or shelf.
Hand-Carved Craftsmanship: Each curve and leaf sculpted from solid wood, not resin.
Wear, chipping and scratches.
🔸 Gilded Elegance: Finished in genuine gold leaf over red bole — the traditional Florentine method.

🔸 Functional Beauty: Hinged lid opens to a smooth wood interior, ideal for jewelry or keepsakes.
🔸 Time-Worn Patina: Authentic age marks that enhance vintage charm.
