Large rattan and brass plateau by Gabriella Crespi, Italy, 1960s.

Large oval decorative tray made of finely woven rattan, encircled by a wide brass band. An iconic piece of 1960s design, in the spirit of the work of Gabriella Crespi (1922–2017), an Italian designer known for her creations that blend natural materials and metal, and for her collaborations with the house of Dior. The spiral work of the rattan creates a beautiful graphic effect, while the brass structures the whole piece and gives it an elegant, sculptural presence. Ideal as an XXL catch-all, centrepiece, or mid-century/bohemian chic decorative object. Dimensions: • Width: 60 cm. • Length: 39 cm. • Height: 10 cm. Weight: 2.2 kg. In good vintage condition, with signs of wear consistent with age (see photos).
