ABOUT PRODUCTID 11398
This Art Deco letter holder from 1930s Germany exemplifies a compact, geometric design built on the interplay of premium materials. The base is crafted from polished black marble with prominent, irregular white veining, finished to a high gloss that accentuates the depth and structure of the stone. Rising from the marble are two dividers made of chromed brass, shaped into soft, undulating lines. The metal elements bear a subtly matte, vintage surface and are securely anchored into the marble using round, decorative mounts. The overall form demonstrates a commitment to symmetry and clean lines, unmistakably reflecting the Art Deco aesthetic. The letter holder is preserved in very good condition, with no visible damage, chips, or wear on either the stone or the metal.The shape of the letter holder seems to echo the spirit of its era: the 1930s, a period marked by fascination with geometry, order, and modernist simplicity—yet also with a taste for refined ornamentation. The black marble contrasts with the cool shine of chromed brass, as if the stone and metal are engaged in a quiet dialogue about harmony and function. The wavelike dividers suggest the rhythm of a dynamic metropolis, while the compact, rectangular silhouette emphasizes a drive toward orderly organization. This is an object that might recount stories of salons and studies where correspondence and notes had their designated, stylish space.The letter holder may be placed on a desk in a home office or library, offering a way to organize correspondence or important papers. It pairs well with other Art Deco accents—a geometric desk lamp, a glass inkwell, or a period picture frame. On a console in the entryway, especially one of wood or metal, it becomes a subtle reference to modernist design. It could also be combined with soft textiles or natural wood in an eclectic living room—its distinctive form and noble materials naturally
