Description :
This oval-shaped vintage waste bin is crafted from stiffened, textured cardboard wrapped in a green faux leather-like finish. One side is embellished with a mid-century embossed grid and repeating Greek key pattern, adding a refined and geometric touch. The reverse is minimalist, maintaining a solid green field. The interior and base show wear, and there is a visible tear near the lower front edge, but it remains a charming and functional decor piece for vintage-styled offices or studies.
