About this seller
ProfessionalProduct description
Its silhouette is particularly striking. A long wooden base with clean lines houses two panels of thick, textured, and slightly curved glass, whose design evokes frost crystals spreading across a winter window. Light passes through the glass, catches its raised patterns, and, depending on the angle, reveals a multitude of almost botanical motifs. Its true character lies in its large turned wooden handle, composed of a succession of spheres that gradually diminish towards the ends. At the top, a more generous sphere punctuates the design. A highly decorative flourish that testifies to the appreciation for forms in the decorative arts of the mid-20th century. The combination is appealing. The warmth of the wood, the frosted transparency of the glass, and a few touches of metal create a piece that is both graphic and warm. Measuring 38 cm wide and 28 cm high including the handle, it has an unusual presence for a letter holder. It's not a small accessory to be hidden on a desk. Time has left it with a patina that new objects cannot imitate. A few marks of use tell its story without detracting from its charm. The photographs allow for a precise appreciation of its condition and details. A unique piece, bordering on late Art Deco and 1940s-1950s modernism, chosen for the originality of its construction and that rare ability some old objects have to make an everyday gesture beautiful.
