About the Item

This appealing Mid-Century Modern accessory is distinguished by its thick, round body, expertly finished in a spectacular burl wood veneer. The design is purely elegant and focused on showcasing the rich, unique texture of the wood grain, which features an intricate pattern of small knots and swirling tones. The use of the veneer allows for a consistent and sophisticated presentation of this highly valued material. The piece is highly versatile, functioning perfectly as a large desk tray or catchall, or as a refined ashtray, consistent with its likely original intent. The object features a solid, cylindrical construction. The wood finish maintains a beautiful, warm patina consistent with its age, subtly enhancing the characteristic markings of the burl. Integrated precisely into the organic wood structure is a circular stainless steel insert. This metal element serves as the receptacle, providing a clean, reflective contrast to the earthy tones of the wood. The steel insert is flush with the top surface, ensuring a refined and integrated aesthetic. Likely produced in Southern Europe during the 1960s or 1970s, this piece reflects the era's appreciation for natural materials and sculptural forms. The vintage condition shows minor wear and includes a small, natural knot detail on the veneer's pattern.
