This dice-shaped paperweight from the 1950s merges precise mid-century modernism with a touch of playful design. The six-sided die, crafted from brass or anodized aluminum and finished in a champagne-gold metallic sheen, is positioned atop a conical brushed aluminum pedestal. Its base is a circular plate—made of either solid mahogany or veneered plywood—featuring visible wood grain, a semi-matte finish, and gently beveled edges. Deeply recessed black circular pips on each face are expertly aligned, emphasizing the geometric clarity of the object. The paperweight's construction reveals no visible fasteners, reflecting the high-quality workmanship associated with mid-century design. The thoughtful interplay of lustrous metal and warm, dark wood balances visual heft with refined simplicity. The item is in very good restored condition: metal surfaces are polished, and the wooden base is smooth, with no signs of significant wear or damage. This paperweight seems to echo the voice of the 1950s, a time when functional objects were infused with a touch of wit. Its bold form recalls an era devoted to balancing utility and aesthetics—even in everyday items. The interplay of geometry, metallic highlights, and subtle warmth of wood evokes the optimism of the postwar period, when design sought to connect
