Vintage style basket Christian Dior Home, tortoiseshell acrylic
Graphical, luxurious, and extremely rare, this basket appears to be a piece from the Christian Dior Home collection, produced in France in the 1970s, at a time when the Dior house was expanding its universe beyond fashion to invest in interior decoration. Its cubic body made of thick acrylic plays with transparency and colour depth, between warm brown and amber reflections that ignite under light. A brass top band completes the ensemble with a sober and assertive elegance, a signature of the discreet luxury of that era. The Christian Dior Home collection from the 1970s is now one of the most sought-after vintage decoration lines by international collectors. These rare pieces have circulated in the largest design galleries around the world, particularly in Japan where they are especially prized. Date: c. 1970. Place of production: France 🇫🇷 Colour: Tortoiseshell, brown, silver. Materials: Acrylic, chrome. Dimensions: 20 X 20 X 30 cm. A collector's piece from the great Dior house, extremely rare on the French vintage market. Signs of wear due to age, it remains in generally good condition.
