AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Superb desk tray (or decorative bowl) in solid bronze attributed to the famous bronze publisher Monique Gerber in the 1970s. This piece is emblematic of the "brutalist" and organic style of that period.
Design and Aesthetics
The piece plays on a striking contrast, typical of Gerber's work:
The exterior: A rough, rocky, unpolished texture reminiscent of bark or natural stone, with a beautiful nuanced patina.
The interior: A perfectly smooth and polished basin, offering warm golden reflections that beautifully catch the light.
Condition
The object is in very good vintage condition. It features an authentic original patina that underscores its character. No major dents or deformations to report.
Technical characteristics
Creator: Monique Gerber
Era: Around 1970
Origin: France
Material: Solid bronze
Style: Brutalist / Mid-Century Modern
Why bid on this piece?
Monique Gerber's creations, produced in her Paris workshops, are increasingly sought after for their exceptional casting quality. This desk tray is not just a desk accessory or decoration; it is a true utilitarian sculpture that fits perfectly in a contemporary or vintage interior.
