Step back into the 1930s with this stunning Art Deco Hickok Men's Dresser Valet Box. Manufactured by the prestigious Hickok Manufacturing Co., this vintage piece combines a smooth, heavy cream Bakelite (phenolic resin) base with a striking embossed metal lid featuring a stylized, geometric double-horse equestrian motif.
Famous for creating high-end men's accessories, jewelry boxes, and cufflink valets during the Art Deco era, Hickok pieces with intact cream bases and crisp relief lids remain highly desirable.
This particular variant—featuring a black Bakelite base with a creme Bakelite lid with a silver metal embossed dual-horse plaque—is the highly desirable 'Two Stallions' Art Deco mixed-media model, which typically commands a premium over all-Bakelite or single-piece painted versions
This particular model is much rarer than the single-piece molded plastic versions.
