Decorative plate in stained red and purple wood – Tailio Design, Finland

Add a modernist and poetic touch to your interior with this magnificent decorative wooden plate, turned and stained, signed by Tailio Design (Finland), dating from the 1960s. This iconic piece of Mid-Century Scandinavian design stands out for its incredible colour work. The centre of the plate features a vibrant, sunny magenta red, radiating at the heart of a wide border in deep plum/purple. The application of the hue subtly reveals the natural grain of the wood, creating a stunning interplay of textures and reflections in the light. An ideal piece of Scandinavian folk art for a centrepiece, on a vintage teak sideboard, or mounted on the wall within a composition of mirrors and ceramics. • Marking: Signed on the back under the base with the original hot-stamped mark: "Tailio design Finland". • Condition: Superb vintage condition. No cracks, no warping of the wood. A few almost invisible surface micro-scratches under the base, attesting to its authenticity.
