ABOUT PRODUCTID 11655
This Art Deco letter holder from the 1930s exemplifies German craftsmanship where precision meets high-quality materials. The base is made of smooth, polished black marble, accentuated by natural veining in shades of white, beige, and grey. Two wide, arching dividers crafted from chrome-plated brass with a semi-matte finish, subtly highlighted by areas of gentle sheen, create a symmetrical, geometric composition. The metal elements are firmly anchored in the marble, with round fittings visible at the base. The overall design is guided by the minimalist aesthetic characteristic of the Art Deco era, with clear structure and balanced proportions. The letter holder is preserved in very good condition, showing only minor signs of use—delicate surface scratches on the marble and a soft patina on the metal, with no significant damage or repairs.The form and material of this piece evoke the spirit of the 1930s—a time when even everyday office accessories reflected a sense of order and understated luxury. The black marble, traversed by pale veins, and the gentle arc of metal dividers conjure the atmosphere of refined offices, where light glances off stone and chrome, emphasizing the rhythm of the day and an attention to detail. The letter holder seems to recount tales of handwritten correspondence and focused moments at a carefully arranged desk.It could be paired with a walnut or mahogany desk, allowing the marble to bring out the richness of the wood while the chrome arches offer a subtle decorative accent. It would also work well on a sideboard in the living room, accompanied by a black-and-white photograph or a geometric lamp from the era. Interiors inspired by Art Deco, modernism, or collector's eclecticism provide a natural setting, but the letter holder may also serve as a striking counterpoint in a minimalist, contemporary space.
