ABOUT PRODUCTID 20360
This Art Deco letter holder from the 1920s exemplifies the refined craftsmanship and modernist sensibility of early 20th-century European decorative arts. The base is crafted from black marble, with striking, irregular golden-yellow veining that lends a dynamic and decorative quality. Its polished, mirror-like finish enhances the natural depth and complexity of the stone, while subtly rounded edges harmonize with the gentle curves of the three dividers. The dividers themselves are formed from nickel-plated brass with a smooth, matte surface; each arch is anchored into the marble base by round metal fittings, emphasizing the geometric clarity typical of Art Deco design. The proportions are balanced—measuring 16.5 cm in length, 8.5 cm in width, and 9.5 cm in height—providing practical storage for correspondence, with the deep black marble contrasting against the cool tone of nickel. Condition is very good: no damage, the marble is free of cracks or chips, and the metalwork displays only a gentle patina.This piece channels the spirit of the 1920s—a period when geometric order met the luxury of noble materials. The marble base, reminiscent of a fragment of midnight sky streaked with golden lightning, speaks to a desire for stability and endurance so prized in the interwar years. The arched dividers evoke architectural details of the era’s interiors—an expression of modernist ambition, yet intimately tied to the daily ritual of desk work. A hint of patina on the metal is a silent witness to time passed, adding
