About the Item
Italian Neoclassical Red Leather Wastepaper Basket or Trash Can, 20th Century
Description:
This refined Italian wastepaper basket is executed in richly colored red leather and designed in the Neoclassical tradition, drawing inspiration from antique book bindings and classical library furnishings. The cylindrical form is articulated with molded vertical panels and raised banding that convincingly evoke the spines of leather-bound volumes, a motif long associated with scholarship, order, and intellectual refinement.
The exterior surface is finished in a warm oxblood-to-crimson tone, hand-decorated with gilt scrolling motifs, linear borders, and geometric medallions reminiscent of classical ornament and Renaissance revival patterning. Subtle speckling and intentional surface variation enhance the visual depth, giving the piece a pleasing sense of age and patina while maintaining crisp definition. Darkened accents at the edges and panel divisions further emphasize the architectural rhythm of the design.
The interior is finished in a contrasting dark lining and is well suited for use as a wastepaper basket, small umbrella stand, or decorative container in a study, library, or office. Compact in scale yet visually strong, this piece offers both functionality and sculptural presence.
Produced in Italy during the 20th century, examples such as this reflect the country’s long tradition of leather craftsmanship and Neoclassical revival design, making it an elegant and timeless accessory for traditional or eclectic interiors.
