This expandable jewelry box from the 1950s is a fine example of Polish mid-century modern design, where functionality meets attention to detail. The box is crafted from wood, measuring 21 × 10 cm with a height of 17 cm, and finished in a vivid orange hue with a semi-matte surface. Contrasting white accents – including geometric handles, hinges, and a central grip – complement the overall form and underscore the modernist character. The cantilever construction allows the two upper compartments to swing outward, revealing a larger central compartment. The interior is lined with a light beige, soft fabric, providing gentle protection for stored jewelry. Visible metal elements – screws and hardware – are painted white, maintaining the color consistency of the design. The condition is excellent: there are no signs of wear, damage, or restoration, and all elements, including handles and hinges, remain original and well-preserved. This piece speaks with the voice of the 1950s, an era when Polish homes sought modernity and a touch of color in daily life. The geometric shapes, bold color contrasts, and sturdy yet straightforward construction reflect the optimism of the postwar period. As it opens, the box invites a small daily ritual – safeguarding personal treasures, each finding its own stage within. The orange tone and white details evoke the joy with which functional objects were created for homes where every item held both meaning and its own place. The jewelry box could be displayed on a bedroom vanity, where its geometric form and vibrant color contrast elegantly with the refined simplicity of wood or
