{"product_id":"vide-poches-italien-en-metal-dore-et-plexiglas-70s","title":"Italian gilt metal and Plexiglas valet tray from the 70s","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eIn the 1970s, Italian design widely explored plexiglass as a noble material in its own right. Cut into thick blocks, beveled, and faceted, it was combined with gilded metal in desk objects and table accessories intended for refined interiors. The transparency of the material and the play of internal refraction then constituted a graphic challenge in itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eSquare trinket tray made of cut transparent plexiglass block, circa 1970. The structure features pronounced chamfers at the four corners and internal faceting work producing complex optical effects. The central cup is made of removable gilded metal, with slightly raised circular edges. Precise assembly, typical of Italian production from this period. Designer and publisher not identified. Sourced in Brescia from a dealer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe plexiglass is in perfect condition, with no scratches or yellowing. The metal cup has a beautiful, uniform gilded patina, with slight traces of use visible up close — consistent with its age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eDimensions: width 16 cm, height 4 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eTo be placed on a desk, a nightstand, or a console. Works equally well as an ashtray or a trinket tray.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"treaptyque","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58189473677637,"sku":null,"price":350.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5077\/2174\/files\/G05A7068.jpg?v=1780744359","url":"https:\/\/www.treaptyque.com\/en\/products\/vide-poches-italien-en-metal-dore-et-plexiglas-70s","provider":"treaptyque","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
