Amsterdam School Copper Tobacco Box with Carnelian Accent, Early 20th Century
About the Item
This copper tobacco box, crafted in the style of the Amsterdam School, is a distinctive example of functional art from the early 20th century. The hammered copper finish, now enhanced with a rich patina, gives the box a rustic, tactile quality that reflects the Amsterdam School’s emphasis on craftsmanship and materiality. A carnelian stone set into the top adds a subtle, earthy accent that complements the copper’s natural warmth.
The box showcases the artisanal craftsmanship typical of Dutch decorative arts during this period. While the maker’s identity is unclear, the design is reminiscent of works by prominent artisans such as Cris Agterberg, Hendrik Methorst, and Conrad Fhen, known for their contributions to the movement. The hinge remains in excellent condition, highlighting both the durability and practical use of the piece.
Historically, tobacco boxes like this one served as both functional objects and decorative works, reflecting the artistic sensibilities of their makers. This box, with its Amsterdam School design and richly aged patina, would make a thoughtful gift for collectors or those with a discerning taste for design and history. Its handcrafted quality and unique materials make it particularly suitable as a sophisticated gift for men—whether for use as a desk accessory, a conversation piece, or a treasured addition to a collection.
