Formed in airy gold-tone wire and finished with a honeycomb mesh shelf, its circular flower motif reflects the French Matégot style that celebrated geometry and lightness in post-war design.

Perfectly scaled for displaying perfume bottles, succulents, or small ceramics, this piece bridges utility and art. The original gold finish has mellowed into a soft patina that enhances its vintage authenticity. Ideal for Mid-Century Modern, Hollywood Regency, or Eclectic interiors seeking a touch of retro glamour. Reminiscent of Mathieu Matégot and Tony Paul wire designs from the Atomic Age.

Minor wear consistent with age and use. Ready to hang.
