Story
In the glamorous world of 1960s and 70s interior design, the 'Grand Tour' aesthetic made a massive comeback, bringing ancient Roman and French motifs into modern homes.
Maker / Origin
While unsigned, this piece is consistent with the high-end decorative objects produced by Italian workshops or American firms like Maitland-Smith during their early years.
Condition & Value
The metal shows a pleasing aged patina that highlights the tassel's texture. There is some visible oxidation on the drip pan and cup, which is expected for its age. The faux-marble stem appears well-preserved. The absence of a pair is the main value limiter. The patina adds character and should not be aggressively cleaned.
