AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Art Deco magazine rack – solid wood with non-ferrous metal spindles – circa 1920–1930
Description:
Authentic Art Deco magazine holder from the interwar period (circa 1920–1930), crafted in solid wood with vertical metal slats on the front. The design is clean, functional and architectural in character, characteristic of the early modernist Art Deco style in which form and construction are visibly part of the design.
The construction consists of a solid wood frame with two shelving levels for storing magazines, newspapers, or books. The slender slats create an open structure and visual lightness, which is typical of interwar design in which industrial materials were increasingly used in furniture design.
Material:
Frame: solid wood
Spokes: non-ferrous metal (likely aluminum or aluminum alloy)
Technical explanation of spindles:
The bars are not magnetic and not copper. Along the full length there is a fine longitudinal seam visible, indicating rolled sheet material that has been formed into a tube (not solid cast metal). This production type is characteristic of early industrial metals such as aluminum and aluminum alloys from the Art Deco period.
Given:
non-magnetic
the lack of copper color
the oxidation/patina
the visible longitudinal production seam
is an aluminum or non-ferrous alloy technically the most likely.
Period: ca. 1920–1935
Style: Art Deco / interwar modernism
Origin: probably Europe
Country:
Good authentic vintage condition, with normal signs of aging and patina appropriate to age and use. The lower platform has a visible seam! Structurally solid. The patina contributes to the authenticity and historic appearance.
Position: magazine holder / newspaper holder / document holder
Details
Original interwar design
A combination of wood and early industrial metalworking.
Typical example of the transition from craft to industrial furniture production.
