About the Item

A hammered copper tobacco box circa 1920s, accented with a polished red carnelian stone on the lid. The richly patinated surface highlights the hand-hammered texture, while the carnelian adds a jewel-like detail that contrasts beautifully with the warmth of the copper. Made in the Amsterdam School tradition of Dutch Arts & Crafts, the box reflects the movement’s emphasis on honest materials, expressive form, and handcrafted quality. The Amsterdam School was known for combining architectural boldness with artisanal detail, and this piece embodies that spirit on an intimate scale. Originally designed as a tobacco box, the piece has a strong hinge and compact, functional form. Today, it serves equally well as a desk accessory, keepsake, or collector’s object. Durable, functional, and refined, it makes a striking addition to a collection — or a distinctive gift with timeless appeal.
