1920s – Art Deco Shagreen Galuchat Box

A rare find! This 1920s art deco wooden box is wrapped in shagreen (shark or stingray skin) with an ivory handle. The boxes were most commonly made in England and popularized by Jean-Claude Galuchat. I acquired this piece at a market in Spain.

This piece is unsigned.

Condition – Loss of placoid scales in some areas. Please reference the photos closely. The shagreen stays intact when handled normally. The ivory handle and wood is in good shape. Some staining to the inside of the box.
