The body of the carafe is wrapped in black horse skin. This material is known for its durability and unique texture, often featuring a natural sheen. The use of horse skin in design was popular in Italian luxury goods, adding an element of opulence and tactile richness to the piece. The thermos features silver-plated details. Silver-plating adds a sleek, polished finish, providing a contrast to the matte texture of the horse skin. The silver not only enhances the visual appeal but also gives the piece a refined, luxurious touch. This thermos carafe is a statement piece, ideal for someone with a taste for luxury and modernist design. It blends the rich texture of black horse skin with the gleaming finish of silver-plated accents, creating a functional yet highly decorative object. It would be at home in a modern or minimalist kitchen, or as part of a luxury coffee or tea service. It's in perfect condition, probably never used. See less
