Creator: Carl Auböck (Attributed)
Offered by: Original in Berlin

Description
This elegant brass box, designed by Carl Auböck, embodies mid-century sophistication and craftsmanship. The box is constructed from gleaming, polished brass with beautifully rounded edges, giving it a sleek and modern appearance. The lid, made of finely finished walnut, adds a warm, natural contrast to the reflective brass. Inside, the box is lined with cork, which adds both a tactile element and an organic feel, further enhancing its luxurious aesthetic. The lid opens smoothly on brass hinges, revealing the spacious interior, perfect for storing small valuables or serving as a decorative piece. The combination of materials—wood, brass, and cork—reflects Carl Auböck's renowned attention to detail and mastery of blending function with artistry. This box is more than a storage item; it's a striking piece of design history, ideal for any mid-century modern collector.
