Vintage Spanish Marquetry Jewelry Box – Tossa de Mar Costa Brava A beautiful vintage hexagonal jewelry box featuring intricate marquetry wood inlay and geometric mosaic decoration. This decorative piece was produced as a souvenir from Tossa de Mar on the Costa Brava in Spain, as confirmed by the original label on the base. The lid features a detailed geometric star design composed of contrasting wood veneers and inlaid segments. The edges are decorated with alternating dark wood and light bone-style inlay, creating a striking traditional Mediterranean pattern. The box opens with a small brass latch to reveal a bright red velvet lined interior, ideal for storing jewellery, keepsakes, or small treasures. Pieces like this were commonly handcrafted or assembled in Spanish workshops and sold to visitors along the Costa Brava during the mid-20th century.
