Description: This exquisite red leather desk stationery box, dating to around 1910, is a rare and refined piece that embodies the elegance of the Edwardian era. Its striking design features silver metal triangle accents applied to each corner and center of the front and lid, adding a touch of sophistication to the rich red leather exterior. The interior opens to reveal numerous compartments, thoughtfully arranged to organize correspondence and writing essentials. What truly sets this piece apart is the rare addition of a perpetual calendar display on the bottom. Three glass windows with ribbons allow for a charming display of the month, weekday, and date, adjustable through small knobs under the lid. While the ribbons will need some assessment and repair, the mechanics and design speak to the craftsmanship and innovation of the time. Measuring 10.5 inches wide, 8.5 inches high, and 6.5 inches deep, this box is both functional and decorative, ideal for a collector of Edwardian antiques or anyone seeking a unique addition to their home office. Unmarked, likely European in origin. There are areas of losses, staining and a missing pin to one corner of the central silver ornament. Please review the photos for further assessment. It’s a conversation piece that combines beauty, utility, and a touch of history, perfect for adding vintage charm to any desk or workspace. Check out our other antique listings.
