The removable lid, rendered in jet-black acrylic, rests weightlessly atop a sleek metal base – a study in contrasts between opaque darkness and reflective shine. The elongated rectangular form is punctuated at each end by gentle curved extensions, giving the piece a distinctive sculptural geometry. In the quiet glow of ambient light, those curved metal sides cast soft reflections, transforming a simple container into a minimalist art object. There is a poetic restraint to its design – luxurious in material yet minimalist in silhouette – evoking the elegance of high modernist decor from late 20th-century italy, product details: materials: polished metal (presumed brass or chrome) and black acrylic origin: italy, late 20th century (c.1980s) dimensions: 22.5 cm l x 12 cm w x 6.5 cm h (approx. 8.9″ x 4.7″ x 2.6″) attribution: stamped “c&p” condition: good vintage condition. Minor surface wear consistent with age; acrylic lid is clean and glossy with only faint scratches, and metal shows a gentle patina but no structural damage. The lid fits snugly and is fully removable. This piece has been well-preserved, ready to display or use for storing small treasures. See less
