Walnut was a favourite wood of the Deco period for exactly this kind of piece — the grain does most of the decorative work on its own, which suited a design movement that increasingly trusted materials to speak for themselves rather than relying on applied ornament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one's grain is particularly good, richly patterned and warmed by a patina that only comes with age and handling. It was made to hold cigarettes, but the form suits almost anything worth keeping close at hand — playing cards, keys, the odds and ends that collect on a side table by the end of the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a vide poche or a card box, it does a lot with very little embellishment — proof that restraint was its own kind of luxury in this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcellent antique condition. Some scratches and tiny nicks appropriate to age and use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rita's Bazaar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54035588481357,"sku":"2996","price":70.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0975\/4191\/4957\/files\/76-20240130_193256-Photoroom.jpg?v=1780945847","url":"https:\/\/ritasbazaar.co.uk\/products\/art-deco-walnut-table-cigarette-holder-card-box-vide-poche","provider":"Rita’s Bazaar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
