Wooden Box with Brass Inlay and Side Handles

This wooden box features delicate brass inlay borders framing the top and front panels. It is designed with a central rectangular brass cartouche on the lid, a matching circular front keyhole escutcheon, and recessed brass campaign-style handles flush-mounted to each side. The warm brown wood grain shows natural variations and characteristic aging.

Visible wear includes surface scratches, small scuffs, and minor tarnish to the brass inlay and fittings. There is a slight gap where the lid sits on the base. A classic piece of desktop storage, ideal for storing small stationery items, letters, or for decorative display on a desk, bookshelf, or sideboard.
