For connoisseurs of high-end mid-century modern design: a stunning and highly collectible sculptural pipe holder (designed for 3 pipes) crafted by the legendary Romanian-born architect and designer Jean Gillon for his renowned firm Italma WoodArt in Brazil (circa 1960s). Gillon is globally celebrated for his masterfully crafted furniture (such as the iconic 'Jangada' chair) and his exceptional sensitivity to tropical hardwoods.This handmade piece is entirely carved from solid, premium Brazilian Rosewood (Jacaranda). The wood showcases a deep, rich reddish-brown hue and a breathtaking organic grain definition characteristic of Gillon's highly sought-after collectible objects.Condition and Authenticity: The piece is in immaculate vintage condition with no cracks, scratches, or wear to the woodwork. The underside shows only minor surface scuffs from being carefully slid across surfaces over the decades, completely consistent with its age. Notably, the original paper maker's label/sticker from Italma WoodArt is still perfectly intact on the bottom, fully guaranteeing the authenticity of this mid-century gem.Designer: Jean GillonManufacturer: Italma WoodArt, Industria BrasileiraOrigin: BrazilMaterial: Solid Jacarandá / Brazilian RosewoodPeriod: 1960sDimensions: 21 cm long x 14 cm wide x 6 cm high (8.3" L x 5.5" W x 2.4" H)Function: Luxury pipe stand or serves beautifully as a standalone mid-century modernist sculpture
