The handcrafted surface has developed a warm, bronzed patina over time, giving the piece an almost archaeological quality despite its distinctly Modernist origins. The narrative reliefs evoke the folk traditions of Eastern Europe, while the bold geometry and heavily modelled forms sit comfortably within the Brutalist movement. Equally suited as a jewellery box, desk object or decorative catchall, it's the sort of piece that quietly steals attention from everything around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1842\" data-end=\"1885\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1842\" data-end=\"1853\"\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hungary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1887\" data-end=\"1903\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1887\" data-end=\"1895\"\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e c.1970s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1905\" data-end=\"1964\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1905\" data-end=\"1919\"\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cast copper alloy with timber-lined interior\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1966\" data-end=\"1999\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1966\" data-end=\"1981\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e W16 × D16 × H6 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2001\" data-end=\"2027\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2001\" data-end=\"2017\"\u003eAttribution:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unmarked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2029\" data-end=\"2135\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2029\" data-end=\"2043\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very good vintage condition with age-appropriate patina and light wear consistent with use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2137\" data-end=\"2205\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2137\" data-end=\"2145\"\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jewellery box, catchall, desk object or decorative storage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penny Lomas Furniture \u0026 Object Atelier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47639184736395,"sku":null,"price":450.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/7597\/7611\/files\/Untitled_design_1f203697-14b6-4d71-93e6-d5b57e1c31f4.png?v=1782702156","url":"https:\/\/pennylomas.com.au\/products\/brutalist-copper-relief-box-with-horse-frieze-c-1970s","provider":"Penny Lomas Furniture \u0026 Object Atelier","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
