The box was designed by Piero Fornasetti in the 1950's / 1960's. The box is composed of what appears to be a mahogany dovetailed wooden box, brass side hinges and with what looks to be a wood top with laminated metal or paper on the top and bottom. There is a design on the top and bottom of the lid. I am not sure what the box was used for, but it could have used to house two decks of playing cards or a cigarette box or trinket box. The box has two stickers on the bottom, one is a "Palazzo" sticker which I cannot find any research and a Fornasetti sticker. The box is approximately 6 3/4 inches long, 4 inches wide and 1 1/4 inches tall. See less
