This elegant brass magazine rack or watse paper basket is playfully designed in the shape of a rectangular shopping bag, featuring finely detailed twisted brass handles and pleated sides. The polished brass surface has developed a warm patina over time, reflecting its vintage character and wear. Likely originating from Italy circa 1960, this piece bears no maker's mark but exudes the refined craftsmanship typical of mid-century Italian design. 

Ideal as both a functional and decorative accent in any stylish living space.
