Zwart leren doos before 1956

"Zwart leren doos" (Black Leather Box) is a small, rectangular box crafted before 1956 by Y. Fouson, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum. The simple, black leather exterior features a single decorative element: a gold-colored monogram with a crown, likely representing a royal insignia. This intricate box, measuring 5.7 cm in height, 13.5 cm in width, and 31.4 cm in depth, serves as an intriguing artifact of Dutch decorative arts, reflecting the craftsmanship of its time.
