Doos behorend bij een bronzen penning 1900

This small, round box, designed by Anton Scharff in 1900, was intended to hold a bronze medal. Measuring just 7 cm in diameter and 1.1 cm deep, the box is crafted with a simple, circular design, featuring concentric rings and a gold-colored rim. It exemplifies the functional and understated aesthetic prevalent in early 20th-century design. While the box itself lacks elaborate ornamentation, its intended purpose as a container for a medal hints at a connection to commemoration and historical events. This object offers a glimpse into the material culture of the late 19th century, revealing the everyday objects that accompanied important moments and events of the time.
