1940s Tin bonbonnière
A tiny Scandinavian tin bonbonnière with a hand-hammered surface and a small woodland creature perched lightly on its lid. A quiet piece of Nordic folk charm, perfect for bedside jewelry or as a poetic vignette on a shelf.
The curved form, soft hammer marks, and whimsical finial give it a storybook quality — the kind of piece that feels at home on a bedside table holding rings, or on a shelf as a quiet little companion. A gentle, modest treasure with its own personality.
