ABOUT PRODUCTID 18633
This Swedish crystal powder box or toilet accessory, dating from the 1930s, exemplifies the precise craftsmanship of the Art Deco era. The vessel’s cylindrical body is made of faceted, transparent crystal adorned with a subtle geometric pattern that diffuses light and enhances its visual depth. The nickel-plated brass lid stands out with its mirror-like, highly polished finish and embossed honeycomb texture, emphasizing the period’s play on contrasting materials and decorative restraint. The proportions are harmonious—a gently domed lid fits snugly onto the container, providing secure closure resistant to accidental opening. The condition is rated as excellent, with no noticeable losses or damage, only minor traces consistent with age.This modest, crystalline box carries the voice of the 1930s, when geometric precision and refined austerity shaped the mood of intimate home rituals. Its form resonates with a fondness for structural clarity, light-play, and reflection characteristic of Art Deco. The gleaming, water-like lid with its metallic relief evokes a small treasure from an era when even functional objects held decorative and symbolic meaning—preserving not only cosmetics but also the fleeting ambiance of pre-war elegance.The powder box can be placed on a bedroom vanity among beveled mirrors and modest interwar accessories such as perfume bottles or silver brushes. It may be paired with a modernist lamp or minimalist jewellery boxes, allowing both its silhouette and play of crystal and metal reflections to stand out. Art Deco-inspired or well-ordered eclectic interiors would gain a note of historic craftsmanship, while the box remains equally at home on a console table or as a focal point upon a lady’s dressing table.
