Vintage 1930s English Art Deco Perspex / Early Plastic Geometric Vanity & Trinket BoxAdd a striking piece of Machine Age glamour to your collection with this authentic 1930s British Art Deco box. Meticulously crafted from early Perspex (acrylic) and phenolic resins, this stunning piece perfectly embodies the bold architectural lines and high-contrast aesthetics of the era.Featuring a crisp milk-white body paired with sharp black geometric trim, the box boasts tiered, skyscraper-style horizontal side ribbing and a beautifully stepped cubist block handle on the lid.
Unlike many early plastic items from this period that suffer from warping, shrinkage, or chemical wear, this piece is in spectacular, flawless vintage condition. The panels are perfectly straight, clean, and entirely free of cracks, chips, or deep scratches. While it no longer retains its original inner cigarette slotted tray, the sleek gloss-black interior makes it an incredibly versatile and functional statement piece—perfect for modern storage of jewelry, business cards, desk trinkets, or as a standalone vanity display.
An exceptionally clean, unbranded example of pre-war British plastic design that is increasingly hard to find in this level of preservation.
