About This Item
Vienna: August Klein. Metal, Silk. Very Good Plus. N.d, circa 1890s. 8.5 by 6 cm. The brass design on the front is depicting something industrial, although it is not really clear what it is. There is rubble at the base, possibly meant to suggest a pile of coal, and a smoke stack atop, along with some other objects, and with a grill design in between. Whatever it is, it is striking and unusual. Behind is silk lining, and when one removes a thin pencil from its loop stays, one can lift this lid to reveal a dance card with dances "vor" and "nach" "der Ruhe", or the intermission. With a thin cord and tassel attached. The metal is tarnished, but this can surely be cleaned away.
