AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Refined and eclectic antique desk set consisting of 4 pieces made in genuine rigid leather shaped and hand-molded, an expression of the excellence of Italian artistic leatherworking from the 1970s.
The set stands out for an organic, fluid, sculptural design typical of mid-century modernism and the Space Age style of the era. The collection includes pieces from two renowned Italian leather craftsmanship workshops: L.A.R. (Bologna), recognizable by the crest stamped with the Two Towers, and C.A.P.
Composition of the Set (4 Pieces):
Sculptural tall vase/object holder: Large vase/glass in molded rigid leather with an asymmetric profile and shaped rim. It bears on the bottom the leather goods brand LAR Bologna (crest with the Two Towers) and the inscription "Made in Italy".
Sculpture / Paperweight "Nodo": Decorative/paperweight with an intricate organic knot form. It bears on the bottom the original punch of the CAP workshop.
Ashtray / Catch-all with Alabaster: Square leather base worked with a rigid edge that houses a heavy removable insert in veined alabaster/onyx natural.
Penholder / Small glass: Cylindrical container with a twisted leather-surfaced feature.
Technical Details and Conditions:
Origin: Italy
Era: 1970s
Manufacturers: LAR Bologna / C.A.P.
Materials: Heat-shaped rigid leather, natural stone (alabaster/onyx)
Stamps / Marks: Fire brand LAR Bologna (Two Towers) with the inscription "MADE IN ITALY" on the tall vase; CAP stamp on the ashtray base and on the smaller vase
