AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Office leather set consisting of a foldable wastebasket, a paper bin, and a document archive cover — both finely crafted.
It is a Florence-inspired set, with traditional relief symbols such as the Lily of Florence, the Rampant Lion, and the Medici Family Coat of Arms.
These articles feature embossed and gold decorations on the skin, easily associated with the Adnet style of the 1960s.
The Adnet style is an approach to furniture and design, born from French architect and designer Jaques Adnet, that combines an innovative and classical aesthetic, functionalist characteristics with luxury materials, and a transition towards a more modernist design.
Basket size cm 20 x 20 x 31
Open cover dimensions cm 35 x 23.5
Closed cover size cm 17.5 x 23.5
Optimal conservative state.
