Lot #684: SOUTH AMERICAN Artisan Trinket Box Collection – Handmade Peru, Chile & Brazil

A delightful collection of six South American trinket and keepsake boxes, each with its own personality and showcasing the wonderful color, craftsmanship and folk-art traditions of the region. Rather than mass-produced matching pieces, this collection feels like a group of small treasures gathered during travels through South America. The boxes feature an appealing variety of materials and techniques, from painted and illustrated surfaces to natural materials and intricate decorative details. Of special interest is the Peruvian box clearly marked “HAND MADE IN PERU.” Peru has a long tradition of highly decorative handcrafted boxes, including painted wood and the celebrated reverse-painted-glass technique, in which designs are painstakingly painted on the reverse side of glass panels before being incorporated into the box.
