#3061 Patinated Brass Box/ Carl Auböck II

Description: A patinated brass box designed by Carl Auböck II between 1930-1940. The design of this neatly proportioned box, likely for cigarettes, is noted in a workshop catalogue from the 1930s-1940s. The production date of this piece is likely from this around these dates. The fabrication of the box is exceptionally fine. A deceptively weighty item given its size, the hinged lid has a satisfying "snap" upon closure. The box is in excellent vintage condition and a wonderful example of the workshop's distinctive blackened patina. A rich hue that hovers between black to brown, with an almost purple reflect in areas, that contrasts beautifully with the polished edges of the box. Specifications: Materials: Brass, patinated. Height: 3cm Length: 7.7cm Width: 7.7 cm
