Vintage Butterfly Jewelry Box – Printed Lid Square Trinket Box, 12 x 12 cm

Vintage Estonian Leather Trinket Box – Butterfly Design | Soviet Era, circa 1960s–1970s

A charming piece of vintage Estonian craftsmanship, this small leather-covered keepsake box features a beautifully detailed butterfly design surrounded by elegant geometric patterns.

The decorative lid combines warm beige, black and subtle grey tones, creating a distinctive mid-century look. The intricate butterfly motif and flowing lines give this little box a timeless character.

Believed to have been made in Soviet-era Estonia, most likely during the 1960s or 1970s, it reflects the country's rich tradition of decorative leatherwork.

The maker is unknown, although similar leather goods were produced by Estonian applied arts workshops during this period.

A lovely collectible for admirers of Baltic design, vintage craftsmanship and unusual decorative objects.
