For the Mighty Hunter!
Beautifully detailed and finely crafted Mid-Century Desk Box.
Hard-formed metal with heavy hinged lid and a blue velvet interior lining.
Large Faux tusk ornament on the upper left corner - nicely formed and a very cool look. But no big game were harmed!
Marked India on the bottom.
In keeping with Aesop's fable, Fox and Crow's Motto is "Beware of False Flattery!" So, with each listing we offer a true confession about the item...
My husband still loves a proper desk and an office, and we are lucky to each have a space of that type we can call our own. While he is not a big game hunter, he loves British Colonial, Campaign, and Chinese Export styles, and this nails that look! And it's surprising heavy and well crafted, implying it was quite a fine acquisition a few decades ago. Tons of style for modest investment!
