A rare two-tone German Bakelite box from the 1920s, finished with a sterling silver ball handle. Hand-turned and polished, the surface has a subtle lustre—almost glassy in low light—set against a distinctive black and amber colourway, with contrasting tones between lid and base. A small object of the Art Deco period: precise in silhouette, tactile in the hand, and quietly architectural on a shelf or bedside table.

FAQ

The description states this is a German Bakelite container from the 1920s, but the listing indicates the country of origin as United Kingdom. Can you confirm the true country of origin?

The true country of origin is Germany, confirming this piece as an authentic German Bakelite container.

What is the exact condition of the Bakelite? Are there any cracks, chips, crazing, warping, or discoloration on the lid or base?

The Bakelite shows only minor wear consistent with its age, with no significant cracks, chips, or warping.

Is the sterling silver ball handle hallmarked or otherwise authenticated as solid sterling silver (rather than plated)?

The ball handle is solid silver, though it does not bear a hallmark.

Is any provenance, certificate of authenticity, or documentation of the item's age and origin available?

No provenance, certificate of authenticity, or accompanying documentation is available for this piece.

Does the lid still fit and close properly, and is the container intended for functional storage or purely decorative display?

The lid fits loosely, making this container best suited for decorative display rather than functional storage.

What are the recommended care and cleaning instructions for the Bakelite and silver, given Bakelite's sensitivity to certain chemicals and solvents?

To care for this piece, gently wipe with a soft damp cloth and dry thoroughly, avoiding harsh chemicals or solvents that may damage the Bakelite.
