Copper and lacquered metal planter, 1950s-60s

Square copper planter on four slender black-lacquered metal legs. Northern European production, 1950s-60s. Planter with a linear design: a square copper basin with a reinforced upper rim is fixed to four slender square-section legs in black-lacquered metal. The contrast between the warmth of the copper and the dark, graphic structure is typical of post-war Northern European decorative objects, in which function is expressed through a few materials combined with rigour. The copper shows light oxidation and scratches on the inner edges. Good condition. It may show signs of age and use. Please pay close attention to the photographs. AG350.
