Description
This newspaper stand was made in France in the 1960s. Its wide sheet-metal panels are printed with a historicizing map of the Mediterranean. Coastlines, place names and small pictorial motifs form a detailed decoration on a light background.
A slender metal frame encloses the holder, which narrows towards the bottom. The raised handle and splayed feet stand out as fine lines against the printed panels. The marking "France Breveté" is located on the base. The manufacturer is not known.
