A beautifully expressive French magazine rack from the mid-century period.
Handwoven rattan forms a generous, softly curved sling, suspended within an elegant black iron frame. The twisted carrying handle, slender splayed legs and small hand-worked feet give the piece an unusually light and sculptural character.
The contrast between warm natural rattan and graphic black iron is particularly beautiful — decorative enough to stand on its own, while remaining entirely functional for books, magazines and newspapers.
The rattan has developed a rich, warm patina and is beautifully preserved, with light traces of age consistent with its vintage character.
Details:
Origin: France / Europe
Period: c. 1950s
Materials: Rattan, painted iron
Condition: Very good vintage condition with age-related patina
Dimensions:
A rare and characterful piece of mid-century craftsmanship.
