1940’s Brass & Marble Koi Fish Towel/Jewelry Display
Keep your necklaces & bracelets organized and prettily displayed on this gorgeous piece of antiquity! I love the brass koi fish motif that was so popular during this era—representing wealth, prosperity & growth—which would have been at the forefront of people’s minds when it was made, just following the Great Depression. A symbol of hope for a brighter future, the koi fish is significant in Japanese culture and serves as a reminder that hardships are temporary, & perseverance pays off.
What a lovely symbol to have adorning your vanity & reminding you of brighter days ahead as you complete your daily rituals.
*base was made in Italy of marble, the body is made of brass—there is a small flea bite in the marble base, as well as some chipping to the corners, otherwise in good shape for its age*
