Large floor vase in coiled rattan cane, 1970s

This large floor vase is constructed from continuously coiled natural rattan filaments, forming an amphora-inspired silhouette. The construction features a flared rim, a neck that narrows slightly before expanding into a wide shoulder, and a body that contracts uniformly towards a stable base. The manufacturing method consists of wrapping an internal structure with uniform horizontal rows of rattan core, creating a linear ribbed texture across the entire exterior surface. This geometric pattern generates subtle horizontal shadows depending on the direction of light. Dated to the 1970s, the piece is an example of the organic modern movement of the late twentieth century. The natural rattan has developed a uniform honey-toned patina over time, with subtle surface variations and minor wear consistent with its age and proper preservation. The structural integrity remains intact, with no loose or frayed fibers. This vessel is functional as a large-format architectural accent in minimalist, mid-century modern, or contemporary residential interiors. Its scale allows it to be placed directly on the floor in foyers, living rooms, or corners, either as a standalone object or to hold dried botanical elements. The rigorous focus on material honesty and graphic repetition makes it a sober example of high-end decoration from the era.
