"My Handkerchiefs" Box – Mahogany and Portuguese Silver | Vintage 20th Century Craftsmanship

A unique piece of Portuguese craftsmanship of great refinement: a tissue box made of solid mahogany wood, with a carved top and 20th-century Portuguese silver applications. The combination of dark mahogany and crafted silver creates a toilet object of great elegance and distinction, reminiscent of bourgeois and aristocratic homes in Portugal of other eras.

Boxes with Portuguese silver applications of this type are now rare and difficult to find in the antiques market — the craftsmanship that produced them has been largely lost. This piece is a living testament to a tradition of savoir-faire that deserves to be preserved and celebrated.

An ideal vintage decorative object for a dressing table, bedroom, or living room. A piece with soul that tells the story of Portuguese craftsmanship and everyday life of yesteryear.
