This is a lovely mid 20th century jewellery box, dating to the 1950s/1960s but with an earlier Art Nouveau inspired design made popular during the late 1800s/early 1900s. The interior compartments have been beautifully refurbished.
The Exterior
This box is made of cream Bakelite. It has a beautiful satin covering to the lid which has a print featuring organic fruits and flowers. The satin is a lovely pastel green shade with rosy pink hues to the flowers. The fruits and flowers are interwoven with vines. The print is reminiscent of designs by William Morris. Morris was an English textile designer (as well as being a poet, novelist and social activist). He founded his iconic Morris & Co brand in 1861. The base of the box has a soft velvet-like cream fabric covering.
Bakelite was the first commercial synthetic plastic. It was invented by Leo Baekeland in 1907 but was used more widely between the 1920s and 1960s. Popular items that were made of this material include jewellery and jewellery boxes, telephones, radios, toys and kitchenware.
The box is complete with its original hinges. It is lightweight and therefore easy to move around.
The Interior
The interior has five storage compartments of varying shapes and sizes. We have newly refurbished the bases of these with lightly padded Rose printed cotton panels.
The inside of the lid is lined with the same cream velvet-like fabric on the exterior. It has a decorative shaped pocket with fine ribbed detail, where treasured photos and letters can be kept.
The panels provide cushioned protection for jewellery and complement both the interior and exterior fabrics and Bakelite (the cotton being cream and having pink Roses with green leaves and stems.
The New Printed Cotton Panels
These are completely handmade in order to fit the compartments perfectly.
