ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Founded in Paris in 1946 by designer Christian Dior, the House of Dior quickly became synonymous with haute couture elegance. In the 1980s, Dior expanded its vision beyond fashion to include sophisticated home accessories and décor under the umbrella of Dior Maison. Collaborating with Italian artisans and manufacturers, Dior Maison pieces (like this perspex wine caddy) embodied the brand’s commitment to innovative materials, impeccable craftsmanship, and forward-thinking design. Even today, Dior’s home collections are celebrated for translating the couture spirit into objects that elevate everyday living.

CONDITION

Very slight crazing to the perspex, one of the sleeves may be a replacement and the outside (not visible one it is in the container) has a different finish, otherwise identical to the other three. Structurally sound and in overall good vintage condition. Please refer to photographs.
