A wonderfully detailed mid-century decorative box featuring a dimensional running fox rendered in high relief across the lid. Ornamental scrollwork, a textured ground and woodland detailing give the piece the look of an earlier English sporting antique, while its compact footed form makes it perfect for cufflinks, jewelry, matches or other small treasures. A handsome little piece for the fox hunt collector and an easy layer for an English country interior.
CONDITION Lovely vintage condition with age-appropriate patina, surface variation and light wear consistent with age and use.
SIZE Approximately 4"L x 3"W x 1.5"H.
PROVENANCE Vintage, circa 1950s–1960s. Likely produced for the mid-century export market in an English sporting revival style.
MATERIAL Silver-tone metal; exact metal composition is unknown.
STYLING SUGGESTIONS Style atop a stack of leather-bound sporting books, on an English oak desk or tucked into a collected library vignette. Its diminutive scale also makes it especially handsome as a cufflink or jewelry box in a gentleman's dressing area.
