A fine storage box made in Italy in the 1940s, crafted from elm burl carefully selected for its extraordinary depth of color and the characteristic irregular pattern of its natural grain. The circular body, with its low, compact proportions, is embellished by a refined concentric pattern created on the lathe—a detail that adds rhythm to the surface and emphasizes the textural quality of the wood. The shellac polish further enhances the natural richness of the briar, resulting in an object in which everyday functionality and artisanal sensibility coexist through craftsmanship of remarkable quality—an expression of the Italian tradition dedicated to writing and collectible items.
