Art Deco seems to be an influence in many of my vintage, soon to be antique decorative items. I like the spare geometric lines, and the restrained yet bright decor colors.
This box was acquired in France. Measures about 5 inches in diameter. Hand painted and air brushed motifs, and has a country mark with the name of the decor in French. About 1925.

Beautiful deco box, love the cicada and pastel background
Thankyou Jenni and Ken, your comments are always appreciated. :-)
Please excuse my ignorance on items like this...but this is really nice! Studying entomology for fun back in college....the cicada on the lid is awesome :) It is certainly a beautiful desk box!
buckethead, no excuse needed, we all know different things. I love the cicada too, a surprising addition in the greenish background. Thank you.
Jenni and Ken, thank you for your lovely comments.
CW members all the loves are much appreciated. :-)
Very, very nice deco box. Personally I'd rather there wasn't a large bug on the top, but the colours are just beautiful.
