Bronze Vide-Poche in the style of Karl Hagenauer – 1950s

This exceptional bronze vide-poche (catchall) in the style of Karl Hagenauer combines sculptural art and function in a characteristic way. The relief shows the stylized head of a boy with curly hair, a wide collar, and an oversized, concentrically structured hat. The circular design of the hat simultaneously forms the flat catchall tray and gives the object its distinctive charm.

Designs of this type are often attributed to the famous Wiener Werkstätte Hagenauer or its direct artistic circle. The minimalist design language and the sculptural execution make the piece a typical example of 1950s Mid-Century design.

Crafted from bronze, the tray has an authentic age patina. The greenish oxidation marks in the recesses emphasize the vintage character and give the object additional depth.
