A tactile piece of history, this small lidded box is crafted from shaped leather coated in traditional lacquer. It features a deep black exterior accented by a vibrant red band around the "waist" where the lid meets the base. The surface wears a heavy, authentic patina with visible crazing and cracking, telling the story of decades of handling and travel. Originally designed as a durable travel container for personal effects like wax seals, snuff, or jewelry, this diminutive box is the perfect "finishing touch" for a styling vignette. Its 4-inch size is ideal for sitting atop a stack of art books on a coffee table, acting as a paperweight that invites guests to pick it up and examine the texture. It also serves a functional role on a bedside table or vanity as a unique catch-all for rings and stud earrings.
