History: A stylish mid-20th century trinket or jewellery box, featuring a striking combination of brass-toned metal and bold chartreuse enamel. The rectangular lid is adorned with an engine-turned linear pattern, framed with inset green enamel panels that reflect the popular atomic-era aesthetic of the 1950s and early '60s. The base is similarly finished in vibrant green, with four small metal feet for stability.
 
 
The hinged lid opens to reveal a pale golden interior and three wooden compartment dividers, ideal for storing cufflinks, coins, jewellery, or other personal effects. A sleek and functional piece, it would have originally served as a gentleman’s dresser-top or desk accessory. No maker’s marks are visible, suggesting it may have been produced for the export or department store market in Europe or the USA.
 
 
A charming piece of post-war design with broad decorative appeal for collectors of mid-century accessories.
