Mid-Century Modern Italian Lucite “Tortoise” Catchall Tray with Brass Rim 1970

About the Item

An exquisite example of 1970s Italian Mid-Century design, this catchall tray is crafted in warm-hued Lucite (acrylic resin) with a rich tortoiseshell-effect swirl that ranges from honey amber to deep brown. The square form (25 × 25 cm) features gently beveled edges and is framed by a hand-worked, polished solid brass profile, adding a refined metallic accent. At 7 cm high, its generous depth makes it ideal for use as a key or jewelry tray, a coffee-table catchall, or a standalone decorative piece. Inspired by the clean lines and material contrasts of Willy Rizzo’s work, this tray marries transparency and warmth with tactile brass detailing. In excellent vintage condition—free of cracks or significant scratches—it brings timeless elegance and functional charm to any entryway, desk, or display. Date: Circa 1970 Origin: Italy Materials: Tortoiseshell-effect Lucite (acrylic resin), solid brass Dimensions: 25 cm W × 25 cm D × 7 cm H
