This geometric marquetry wood box late 20th century features a rectangular lidded form with contrasting wood strips arranged in strong linear, chevron, and herringbone style patterns.
The warm honey colored body, darker brown inlay, raised wooden handle, and simple geometric construction give it the practical handmade character that works well on a desk, dresser, bookshelf, or table for storing letters, jewelry, keepsakes, or other small belongings.
