ABOUT PRODUCTID 13219
This Art Deco letter holder, originating from 1930s Germany, is defined by its deep hyalite glass base — a heavy, rectangular form with a high-gloss, mirror-like polish. Faint scratches and subtle marks on the glass attest to its authentic age and usage, while three arched, matte brass dividers, with a warm muted golden-brown patina and visible signs of oxidation, add both function and decorative contrast. The open riveted joints reveal a direct, honest construction approach emblematic of the era. The geometric arrangement of the brass arches provides practical organization for letters or documents, while the clear architectural lines blend the refinement of materials with the reliability of German craftsmanship. In good vintage condition: the brass displays visible tarnish and mild discoloration, the glass surface shows minor scuffs — all consistent with careful use over nearly a century.This object evokes the spirit of an era when geometric simplicity and decorative funtionality engaged in subtle dialogue. It is a letter from the 1930s — an age of optimism, order, and meticulousness — written in arches of metal and the gloss of black glass. The weight of the base and the patina of the brass carry the voice of German Art Deco, casting aside unnecessary ornament in favor of material luxury and functional clarity. The letter holder might say: "I witnessed an epoch of disciplined elegance – my purpose was to bring order to everyday life and draw beauty from utility."This organizer could be placed on a desk in a study, a sideboard in a living room, or in an Art Deco-themed collector's cabinet. It may be paired with dark wood veneers, a polished chrome lamp, or a simple ivory tray to highlight its geometry and the interplay of light on smooth surfaces. It works well alongside contemporary writing accessories to create a subtle contrast between vintage character and modern utility, or as a historical accent in a well-organized home office.
