Description

Elevate your desktop or coffee table with this whimsical and highly collectible vintage box by the renowned design house Maitland-Smith. A quintessential example of 1980s Postmodern luxury, this piece features a shaped, scalloped body finished in a rich, hand-painted faux stone technique that mimics the swirling depth of agate or malachite in verdant greens and warm earth tones. The undisputed focal point is the sculptural gold-tone handle, fashioned as two hands clasping in a handshake—a surrealist touch symbolizing friendship and agreement that adds a layer of wit and sophistication to the design. Substantial in size and presence, this box measures 12 inches wide, 9 inches deep, and 6.5 inches tall. It is the perfect scale for concealing remote controls, storing jewelry, or keeping cherished mementos. The underside retains the original "Maitland-Smith Hand Made in Philippines" label, ensuring authenticity. The piece is in great vintage condition, retaining its glossy lacquered finish. The gilded handle and surface show minor age-appropriate wear and patina, enhancing its collected, heirloom appeal. Add this conversation piece to your home for a dash of high-style Hollywood Regency flair.
