Description from the seller

Mid-Century Modern Patinated Bronze Smoking & Desk Set (3 Pieces) - In the Style of Richard Rohac / Hagenauer Workshops - Austria/Germany, ca. 1950s

An exquisite and highly collectible three-piece Mid-Century Modern desktop and smoking set crafted from heavy cast bronze. This set beautifully showcases the iconic 1950s European modernist design aesthetic, blending organic forms with contrasting surface treatments.

Each piece features a deep, multi-toned verdigris (acid-etched turquoise, teal, and brown) patinated interior, masterfully framed by a highly polished, bright golden bronze rim. This distinct and refined craftsmanship is characteristic of elite mid-century Viennese workshops, heavily in the style of designers like Richard Rohac, Carl Auböck, and the Werkstätte Hagenauer.

The set includes:
1. Square Ashtray: A robust, geometric form with integrated cigarette rests at all four corners and a fully patinated underside.
2. Biomorphic Kidney-Shaped Dish: A classic atomic-era shape, perfect as a catch-all tray, pin dish, or secondary ashtray.
3. Stylized Miniature Duck Figurine: A charming accent sculpture displaying matching patination with polished bronze highlights on the head and tail.

Condition:
Excellent vintage condition with a beautiful, authentic aged patina. The polished bronze rims retain a strong shine with only minimal signs of wear consistent with age and gentle use. No structural damage or repairs. Please see the extensive photo gallery to assess the condition accurately.

Specifications:
• Material: Cast Bronze
• Total Combined Weight: 950 grams
• Square Ashtray Dimensions: 10.5 x 10.5 x 3 cm
• Biomorphic Dish Dimensions: 9.0 x 10.0 x 1.5 cm
• Duck Figurine Height: 4.5 cm
• Estimated Period: 1950s
• Country of Origin: Austria / Germany
