About the Item

This charming Mid-Century Modern brass owl box is a delightful decorative object that combines whimsy with clean, sculptural design. Crafted in solid brass with a warm, naturally aged patina, the piece features a stylised conical body and a removable lid shaped as the owl’s head. Distinctive spiral eyes and a geometric beak give it a playful, almost abstract character typical of mid-century studio metalwork. The interior reveals a polished, golden finish, adding a surprising contrast to the matte exterior. Small applied feet complete the design and enhance its sculptural appeal. Ideal for use as a trinket box, keepsake container, or simply as a standout decorative accent, this piece brings both personality and craftsmanship to any modern or eclectic interior.
