ABOUT PRODUCTID 15524
This decanter, produced by Skultuna in Sweden during the 1960s and attributed to Pierre Forssell, is a quintessential example of Scandinavian mid-century modern design in metalwork. Crafted entirely from polished brass, it exhibits a warm golden hue with a mirrorlike, glossy finish across its surface. The vessel’s form is asymmetrical and softly rounded, evoking the image of a pebble smoothed by water or a droplet of molten metal, with a flat base for stability. The precisely fitted stopper has a domed, disk-shaped top that logically continues the object’s contours. All edges and seams are carefully refined, with no visible joints or ornamentation, emphasizing its minimalist and sculptural identity. The decanter shows faint traces of time in a light patina and minor hairline marks, yet it retains a lustrous presence and is preserved in nearly original, excellent condition. This object echoes the voice of an era intent on distilling everyday artifacts to their purest, most enduring essence. Scandinavian restraint is paired with reverence for material: the brass surface reflects its surroundings with liquid clarity, and the organic profile invites the hand to encounter the project’s silent intent. The decanter narrates an age when modernity meant the union of function and artisanal finesse—each subtle mark records a chapter of use, while the whole stands as an artistic gesture, both unobtrusive and deliberate. The decanter works especially well within mid-century modern-inspired settings, paired with other metallic or glass accents. It might rest atop an oak sideboard, among a restrained arrangement of geometric vases or linear ceramics. The piece aligns smoothly with upholstered furniture of clean outline or highlights the character of monochromatic, tranquil interiors. It can serve as a functional table accent or as a purely collectible object displayed
