ABOUT PRODUCTID 11254
This 1930s business card holder from Germany presents a utilitarian take on the Art Deco aesthetic. The base, crafted from alabaster in an ivory white shade, displays natural veining and gentle color transitions, with a matte, slightly porous texture that accentuates the character of the stone. Resting on it is a cast metal figurine of a football player in a dynamic, geometric pose, alongside an angular card holder—both made of brass or bronze with a dark, aged patina. The composition is minimalist, built on the contrasts of materials and distinctive lines. The balanced proportions mediate between the mass of the stone and the slenderness of the figure. The object remains in good vintage condition, showing minor traces of use and subtle discolorations on the stone, without major damage or intervention.In this compact form, the spirit of an era emerges: a time when sport and modernity became emblems of progress. The geometric arrangement and the dynamic posture of the footballer evoke the 1930s fascination with movement and technology, intertwined with the everyday elegance of the time. The interplay of alabaster and metal, light and patina, seems to narrate the ambiance of offices where exchanging business cards was a ritual, and every detail underscored the owner's status.The holder could be placed on a period desk, a marble console in the living room, or among geometric Art Deco decorations. It would work well as a counterpoint on minimalist, contemporary surfaces, highlighting its collectible character. Pairing it with other objects from the era—such as a patinated metal lamp, a glass paperweight, or an interwar-style graphic—would create a cohesive narrative for a collector's or eclectic interior.
