Description from the seller
Turtle-Effect Lucite and Chrome Tray – Italy, 1970s/1980s
Striking Italian design tray from the Seventies/Nineties (note: actually seventies/eighties), an object that perfectly embodies the sophisticated taste and timeless elegance of mid-20th-century design. From a splendid 1970s design residence, it still preserves today the charm of an era when innovative materials, clean lines, and high craftsmanship merged to create home accessories destined to become iconic.
Made in precious turtle-effect lucite, it features a fascinating composition of amber, honey, and deep brown shades that create a suggestive depth effect, different from every angle of light. The surface, perfectly polished, is enhanced by an elegant central inset with joined corners that visually lightens the volume and highlights the refined workmanship.
Framing the tray is a slim chrome steel edge, an element that creates a pleasant contrast with the warm materiality of the lucite and gives the whole a modern, rigorous, and highly refined image. The harmonious proportions and the execution quality attest to a high-level production, typical of the best Italian design of the period.
More than a simple tray, it is an authentic furnishing accessory capable of enriching any environment, whether classic or contemporary, becoming a refined focal point thanks to its strong stage presence.
Our interior designer recommends: place it on a marble coffee table, a glass console, or a sideboard in fine woods, enriching it with a few art books, a design candle, or a small crystal object. The warm turtle-tinted lucite tones dialogue magnificently with light and dark marbles, brass, steel, walnut woods, and smoked glass, making it ideal in Mid-Century Modern, Modern Luxury, Hollywood Regency, and Contemporary Design settings.
The item is in excellent overall condition, with barely noticeable signs of age and use consistent with its age, practically inconsequential and not visible when displayed.
Dimensions: 56 × 39.5 × 1.5 cm.
