Vipon Gray Decorative Box

This box is designed to balance aesthetic appeal with daily utility. The faux shagreen wrap is a resilient material that is more resistant to scratches than traditional high-gloss lacquers. Coupled with a sturdy brushed antique brass and black enamel closure, it is a durable choice for households that require frequent access to stored items in busy living areas.

The clean lines and monochromatic gray palette allow this piece to bridge the gap between vintage Art Deco glamour and modern contemporary minimalism. For a curated look, our design experts suggest placing it on an accent cabinet or bookshelf using the "rule of three"—grouping the box with a taller metallic sculpture and a stack of books to create visual balance and height variation.

Faux shagreen is an excellent choice for homes in humid or coastal regions. While genuine stingray skin can be sensitive to moisture and prone to warping, this high-quality faux wrap provides the same luxurious, pebbled aesthetic with significantly increased resistance to environmental changes. This ensures the box retains its shape and smoke gray luster regardless of local humidity levels.

A box of this scale—measuring 12.5"w x 9"d—is an ideal solution for streamlining high-traffic surfaces like coffee tables or console units. Its generous width makes it the perfect vessel for concealing everyday clutter, such as television remotes, coasters, or mail, while the Art Deco-inspired smoke gray shagreen adds a sophisticated layer of texture to your room's design.

The interior is finished in a sleek matte black, providing a smooth surface that is safe for a variety of contents. While it is frequently used to organize tech accessories or stationery in a home office, the 4.5-inch height and wide footprint also make it suitable for storing soft jewelry pouches or watch rolls on a bedroom dresser or nightstand.

To preserve the intricate texture of the faux smoke gray shagreen and the brushed antique brass accents, our care guides recommend regular dusting with a clean, soft cloth. For minor spots, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used. Based on our expertise with these materials, we advise avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials, as these can dull the finish or damage the black enamel closure over time.
