This is a streamlined piece of Industrial Modernism. Defined by its rigid rectangular footprint and three precision-carved wells, this tray perfectly captures the "Form Follows Function" philosophy of the mid-20th century.
The surface features a soft, brushed satin finish. Unlike high-polish chrome, this cast metal (likely aluminum) offers a weighted, substantial feel with a "soft-glow" reflection that hides wear and tear beautifully. Its low profile and architectural divisions make it a versatile "catch-all" for a modern home. It is designed to organize small essentials with military-like precision, but its sculptural troughs are elegant enough for a formal cocktail hour.
The Details:
• Era: 1950s – 1970s.
• Style: Mid-Century Modern / Industrial / Minimalist.
• Texture: Brushed Satin "Soft-Touch" Metal.
• Material: Cast Aluminum or Heavy-Gauge Stainless Steel.
• Shape: Low-profile rectangle with three integrated rectangular reservoirs.
Dimensions: 16.5 x 28 cm
Condition: Excellent vintage patina. The edges are crisp and the "wells" show minimal signs of use. No deep pitting or heavy oxidation.
