Art Deco Bowtie Box



It is doubtful you will ever find another one of these.  While the original function might not have been to hold bow ties, it seems like a likely guess based on the shape.  That said, it could serve a variety of functions today other than holding bow ties.  It would make a great jewelry box, desk accessory, etc.  The wood compartments or drawers turn 360 degrees on a center axis.  The center knob and small handles are made of Bakelite.  13" l., 7" w., 5 1/2" h.  American, c.1940's  SOLD
