Iconic Mid-Century Modern Brass Decorative Box by Ben Seibel

This mid-century modern brass and wood desk box by Ben Seibel for Jenfred Ware is a refined example of functional artistry. Seibel, one of the most prolific American industrial designers of the 20th century, was celebrated for his ability to infuse sculptural elegance into everyday objects. His work seamlessly blended modernist principles with organic forms, drawing influence from Brancusi, Arp, and the Bauhaus movement.

Crafted in polished brass with a raised diamond motif, this piece exudes a sophisticated patina that speaks to its history. Originally designed as a cigarette or desk box, it embodies the glamour and material richness of the 1950s and 60s modernist era, when decorative objects were both sculptural and highly functional. With its warm brass tones and cork-lined interior, this Lemieux Et Cie Vintage Collection find is a true collector’s piece—offering a glimpse into the golden age of American design.
