A Collection of Art Deco Style Wooden Desk and Smoker Accessories - A collection of vintage wooden items featuring geometric Art Deco design influences. The primary piece is a smoker's companion box constructed with burr wood and contrasting veneers. This box features a central hinged lid that opens to reveal a square, light-blue glass ashtray insert. The main body is flanked by two fold-out compartments with scalloped wooden interiors designed to hold cigarettes. Below the central compartment are two small drawers, each decorated with inlaid geometric banding and fitted with red spherical pulls. Also included is a stepped wooden desk stand or inkwell base, constructed from two-tone woods including oak and a darker mahogany-coloured timber. The stand features a central rectangular compartment with a hinged lid decorated with a dark-inlaid border. The collection further comprises a long, rectangular wooden cribbage board with multiple peg holes arranged in three tracks, a small hexagonal wooden pot with a turned lid knob, and several framed items including a miniature portrait and a silhouette. The items are finished with various clear lacquers or varnishes highlighting the natural grain of the timber. No maker’s marks, signatures, or labels are visible on the surfaces of these objects.
