In the manner of Just Andersen","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is an unusual 1930s oval Art Deco wooden box. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a hard to find box. It is made with a thick wood making up the body of the box and this has been covered with a thin layer of burr walnut veneer. The veneer is in good vintage condition with no lifting or major losses to it. There is a tiny loss to near the edge of the lid, as photographed This is not so obviously when the work is on display, but only on close up inspection. The walnut veneer is nice and shiny in finish.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base has applied ball feet to stop the bottom of the box being rubbed on a tabletop or desktop surface. The box has a hinged lid which opens towards the back, as photographed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, the best thing about this box is the addition of the cast aluminium sculpture of the kneeling deer. This model is original to the box and not a later addition. It is certainly very Deco in style. The modelling reminds me a little of similar white metal figures made by the Danish artist, Just Andersen. The box might be Scandinavian in origin but there is no maker's mark on it. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe box is a nice size and would have probably been used to contain jewellery in and placed on a dressing table in a bedroom, \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI have never seen another box like this and indeed the little sculptural deer finial on the lid is also pretty rare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is certainly a harder to find and good Art Deco decorator's piece and listed at a fair price. I have taken lots of images for your inspection so that you are able to see all the details. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePostage would have to be with Royal Mail Medium Parcel, Tracked.
