A Pair of Italian Inlaid Wood Boxes. - A pair of Italian inlaid wood boxes, both exhibiting decorative marquetry work using different wood tones. The first box features a dark wood base with geometric light wood inlays, centered by a detailed representation of a ”JOKER” playing card on its lid, and is secured by a brass-toned clasp, opening to a red velvet-lined interior. The second box displays a more flowing, curvilinear inlaid pattern on its lid and has an unlined interior. A label on the underside of the second box clearly states ”HAND INLAID” and ”MADE IN ITALY.” These boxes are likely intended for playing cards or small keepsakes.
