Carefully sourced in France: One of a kind piece

An evocative early 20th-century French artist’s oil paint box, believed to date from circa 1920–1940. Made from dovetailed wood with brass fittings and a carrying handle, the box retains an extensive collection of well-used painting materials gathered during its former life in an artist’s studio.

The fitted interior contains a removable wooden palette with thumb hole, brushes, numerous oil paint tubes, small pigment or paint bottles, metal compartments and rectangular metal flasks likely used for oil or painting medium. Layers of dried paint, stained labels and traces of colour remain throughout, giving the box a particularly convincing and visually rich appearance.

Both practical and highly decorative, this antique painter’s box would make an unusual addition to an art studio, library or collected interior. It could be displayed open to reveal its palette and surviving contents, or closed as a characterful wooden studio box.

Sourced in: South West France
Age: 1920s-1940s
Material: Wood and metal
What makes it special: Its beautiful rich patina and studio contents
