About the Item

An elegant Swedish Art Deco bronze box manufactured by GAB (Guldsmedsaktiebolaget) around 1940, designed with a beautifully sculpted reclining lion finial. The rectangular form is complemented by a richly patinated bronze surface, finely engraved decorative detailing and distinctive raised feet, reflecting the refined craftsmanship of Swedish metalwork of the period. The hinged lid opens to reveal a warm cedar interior fitted with three compartments, offering practical storage for jewelry, personal treasures or small collectibles. The underside is engraved with the dedication “Adjunkten E. Oldén,” dated 1940, together with the GAB bronze maker’s mark, adding historical character and provenance to this distinctive piece. A striking example of Scandinavian Art Deco design, combining sculptural ornamentation with understated geometric lines. Equally suited as a decorative object or a functional jewelry and keepsake box, it makes an appealing addition to a collection of Swedish decorative arts.
