This is an early design by Carl Auböck I, crafted in the 1930s by Werkstätten Auböck in Vienna, Austria. This particular piece is a larger version, handmade from wood and nickel-plated brass. It is well preserved and remains in very good original condition. The roll-top glides smoothly. There is some wear to the nickel plating, which we prefer to view not as a flaw, but as a charming, age-related sign of character. Please note: an identical box in a different size is available in one of our other listings. Measurements: Width: 5.5 in (14 cm) Height: 2 in (5 cm) Depth: 4.5 in (11.5 cm) This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
