Description from the seller
Bronze box – Conrad Fehn, Haarlem, Amsterdam School
A characterful bronze box by the Dutch designer Conrad Fehn, produced in Haarlem and designed in the distinctive style of the Amsterdam School. The design displays the typical language of this movement: strong lines, sculptural forms, and a strong emphasis on material and craftsmanship.
The Amsterdam School, active in the early 20th century, was known for its expressive and often sculptural approach to design, where everyday objects took on an almost architectural character. This box fits seamlessly with that: compact in size, but rich in appearance due to the use of bronze and the subtle detailing.
Conrad Fehn worked as a designer within this movement, and his work is appreciated for combining functionality with artistic expression. This box is a fine example of that: an object that is both practical and decorative, clearly showing the influence of the Amsterdam School.
