Italian Travertine Pen and Card Holder

About the Item

A minimalist desk accessory in honed natural travertine, handcrafted in Italy during the 1970s. Sculpted into a cylindrical form with carved ridges, this piece offers slots for both a writing instrument and business cards or notes, elegantly balancing form and function.
