This is a classic and functional piece of vintage STUDY DECOR. It is a shallow, circular wooden container designed with a smooth, simple aesthetic that fits perfectly on a professional desk or library table. The bowl features an elegant CONCAVE EXTERIOR profile, giving it a subtle architectural feel. The lid is topped with a heavy, ORNATE METAL KNOB mounted on a decorative base plate, providing a refined contrast to the natural wood grain. The base is finished with GREEN FELT to protect delicate desk surfaces.


TECHNICAL DETAILS

  • MATERIAL: Natural hardwood and cast metal hardware.

  • BASE FINISH: Green protective felt.

  • DESIGN: Round, lidded pot with a concave bowl wall.

  • DIAMETER: 13.5cm.

  • HEIGHT (BOWL): 3cm.

  • TOTAL HEIGHT (WITH KNOB): 5.5cm.

  • USE: Ideal for organising paperclips, stamps, or small stationery items.


CONDITION

GOOD VINTAGE CONDITION. The wood retains a warm, aged patina. There is some minor surface wear and a darker area on the lid around the metal hardware base, which is consistent with age and typical of vintage wooden items with metal fittings. The metal knob is secure and the felt base is intact.


PROVENANCE

Pieces like this were common in mid-century home offices. They represent a time when desk organisation was handled with tactile, natural materials rather than plastic. The simple lines and smooth finish suggest a piece likely from the 1960s or 70s.
