Carl Aubock rolling shutter storage box from the 1930s, cigarette dispenser, walnut, Vienna

A storage box with a sliding lid from the 1930s. This is an early model by Carl Auböck I, handcrafted by the Werkstätte Auböck workshop in Vienna, Austria. Made by hand from walnut wood and nickel-plated brass. In very good original condition. Originally designed as a cigarette dispenser, the box can be used in various ways - for example, for jewellery or other small important or valuable items. Alternatively, it can simply be displayed on a shelf as part of an Auböck collection, where it will certainly make a good impression. Width 3.5 in, depth 5 in, height 1.5 in. A rare and hard-to-find piece by Carl Auböck the first.
