This REUMO-HUBBER DOMINGO desk calendar is a small object with outsized presence: a functional time-marker that doubles as a sculptural accent. The front panel’s vertical ribbing turns light into a quiet pattern, while the maker’s badge crowns the piece like a miniature nameplate. Two crisp date windows sit in the center, and the lower slot/slider invites interaction that feels deliberate rather than digital. On a desk, it communicates order; on a shelf, it reads as design.

Because an exact year is not visible in the provided photo, the most accurate way to describe its age is by period. Comparable examples are widely presented by sellers as mid-century, often the 1960s era (approx.), and the form language supports that: compact geometry, purposeful detailing, and a utilitarian confidence that suits modern interiors just as well as traditional studies. The surface shows honest age, with tonal variation and edge wear that deepen character instead of diminishing it.

For collectors, this piece sits at a sweet spot between practical object and decorative statement.

Condition and presentation guidance for a strong listing: photograph straight-on for symmetry, then add close-ups of the badge, date windows, and lower slider area. Include angled shots to show the ribbing’s depth, and one underside/back photo in case any maker marks appear. If possible, add a short video demonstrating the date change slowly and smoothly; bidders respond well to visible function. Describe patina and minor oxidation clearly as age-consistent, and avoid over-cleaning so the finish retains its period authenticity.
