Modernist sewing box by Coen de Vries for Tetex, The Netherlands, 1950s

A lovely sewing box designed by Coen de Vries, manufactured in the Netherlands around 1950. This mid-century piece has a square, off-white metal base and holds a rectangular black (outside) and white (inside) wooden sewing box. When opened, it reveals plenty of storage compartments for many different small items and sewing material. Underneath there is a wooden shelf for additional items. It remains in good, vintage condition with wear consistent with age and use, preserving a beautiful patina. See all images for a good impression.
