{"product_id":"italian-square-plexiglas-and-metal-catch-all-tray-1960s","title":"Italian Square Plexiglas and Metal Catch-all tray, 1960s","description":"Italy, 1960s. Plexiglass was then making its way into desk and table objects, often set off with gilt metal for a more refined result. This square catchall is a characteristic example.\n\nA thick block of clear plexiglass, with rounded front edges, is framed on its upper face by a slim gilt-brass surround. At its centre, a removable circular dish in silver-plated metal fits into a carved recess — practical for emptying or cleaning. The transparency of the plexiglass lets the light play through, while the metal adds a graphic note.\n\nGood vintage condition: a few surface scratches on the plexiglass and some patina on the metal parts, with no chips or cracks. The piece comes from a Milanese collection.\n\nMeasuring 17 cm square and 4.5 cm high, this catchall finds its place on a desk or an entryway console, to hold keys, jewellery or loose change. An object both functional and decorative.","brand":"Treaptyque","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57252318019849,"sku":null,"price":471.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/5290\/4457\/files\/ds8jafu2ygx0egfeesnf.jpg?v=1786479003","url":"https:\/\/oblist.com\/products\/italian-square-plexiglas-and-metal-catch-all-tray-1960s","provider":"The Oblist","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
