ABOUT PRODUCTID 11614
This platter from the United Kingdom, dating to the 1950s, exemplifies mid-century modern table decor, where silver-plated brass meets clear glass. The semi-matte brass frame features a repeating rhythm of teardrop-shaped cutouts, allowing light to pass through and emphasizing the airy character of the design. Three elegantly curved, organic legs provide stability, while a simple, rounded handle arches gently above the bowl. The glass insert is smooth and transparent, perfectly fitted within the metal frame. Visible, meticulously crafted joints and the absence of damage attest to the quality of workmanship. The condition is very good, with only minor signs of age, preserving the authenticity of its era.The platter’s form channels the spirit of the 1950s, when everyday objects took on a new, modernist lightness. The silvered, gently patinated frame, pierced by light, recalls the atmosphere of gatherings decades ago—when nuts and sweets appeared on the table, served with refined simplicity. The subtle patina does not conceal history; instead, it highlights that every detail was designed with both function and understated decoration in mind. This platter could tell of teatime meetings and living room conversations, when design became part of daily ritual.The platter would suit a low coffee table or as a centerpiece on a living room console, where its openwork form lets light play through the cutouts. It can be paired with other mid-century metal or glass accessories, such as candlesticks or bowls in similar tones. In eclectic interiors, it could be combined with ceramics or natural wood to accentuate the material contrast. It serves well both as a vessel for snacks and as a decorative accent displayed on its own.
