Description from the seller
An elegant and sophisticated magazine rack (portariviste) from the mid-20th century,
This piece features a solid brass frame with a beautiful natural patina, showcasing intricate scrolled side supports and classic finials. The two dividers are made of smoked tempered glass, which provides a sleek, airy contrast to the golden tones of the metal.
The rack is sturdy and functional, supported by four gracefully curved legs. It is a perfect blend of utility and high-end vintage design, suitable for storing magazines, vinyl records, or art books.
Condition:
Excellent vintage condition. The brass shows a light, authentic patina consistent with age (can be polished to a high shine if preferred). The smoked glass panels are intact without chips or deep scratches. Please see photos for a detailed view of the condition.
Technical Details:
Material: Brass, Smoked Glass
Height (with handle): approx. 60 cm
Width: approx. 50 cm
Depth: approx. 27 cm
Weight: approx. 4–6 kg (Estimate)
Note on shipping: Due to parcel size restrictions and to ensure safe transport, the top handle will be detached for shipping. It can be easily reassembled by the buyer.
