Exceptional Tessellated Pen shell box attributed to Karl Springer, with a beveled, faceted top. Karl Springer was known for his use of simple forms, combined with unusual materials and finishes, resulting in exotic and eye-catching luxury goods. Made in the Philippines with the original felt bottom and mahogany lined interior.
Hand-crafted of pen shell (one of the largest bivalves in the world, having two long, thin-walled, triangular or fan-shaped shells) and mahogany, in variegated shades of iridescent pink. The striking organic material, tessellated and polished to a rich, glossy sheen create a rare, luxurious box worthy of your most precious keepsakes.
