Brass Clam Shell Trinket Box

Free Shipping

This tidy little solid brass clam trinket box captures the elegant ridged architecture of a natural seashell.

The brass has deepened over time into a rich patina with variations in tone that highlight the clean lines. The integrated flush hinge opens smoothly to reveal a spacious brass interior. Figural brass containers shaped like marine life gained popularity during the Hollywood Regency and mid-century design movements. With a smooth, unmarked base, this piece is most likely a mid-to-late 20th-century boutique production.

Keep it on a vanity or bedside table to protect rings, watches, and small jewelry, set it beside a candle or atop a stack of coastal design books as a hidden match holder, or use it on an entryway console to corral keys and pocket items.
