The stand features a brass framework with three circular holders arranged around a central vertical rod. This structure is topped by a brass ring handle, facilitating ease of transport and reinforcing the piece’s practical purpose. The base of the stand is formed by a triangular metal tray finished in black lacquer, which is accentuated by a brass trim that complements the frame. This combination of brass and lacquer presents a refined contrast between the warm metallic surface and the matte black finish, characteristic of scandinavian design’s subtle play between form and material. The brass components have developed a natural patina over time, reflecting the piece’s age and adding depth to its visual appeal. The lacquered tray exhibits minor wear consistent with regular use, which does not detract from the overall condition or integrity of the stand. Measuring 22 cm in width and depth, and 26.5 cm in height (approximately 8.7 by 8.7 by 10.4 inches), the bottle stand is compact yet thoughtfully proportioned, suitable for both decorative and utilitarian purposes within a mid-century interior setting. Gunnar ander’s design embodies the era’s pursuit of simplicity and craftsmanship in everyday objects.
