Description from the seller
Elegant Italian decanter from the 1950s, a refined expression of the postwar decorative taste, where functionality and aesthetic refinement merge into an object with a strong visual presence.
The body is crafted in glass featuring vertical ribbing, which creates a suggestive play of reflections and depth, amplifying the light and giving the whole piece a precious and vibrant appearance. The warm, golden tone of the metal fittings harmonizes with the transparency of the glass, imparting to the object an elegant and timeless character.
The elongated neck culminates in an elegantly shaped spout, designed for a fluid pour, while the curved handle, with a sinuous and well-balanced line, adds dynamism and lightness to the overall profile. The base, solid and proportioned, ensures stability and completes the composition with a sense of balance typical of mid-20th-century Italian design.
An object that combines function with decorative value, perfect as a distinctive element on a bar cart, a console, or in a display case dedicated to mid-century modern design, capable of evokes sophisticated atmospheres, between elegant living rooms, evening conversations, and soft lights that reflect on crystal surfaces.
A visually striking example, representative of the Italian decorative production of the period, appreciated both for practical use and as a collectible piece or furnishing accessory with great personality.
Proper packaging and trackable shipping throughout Europe.
