Description
Available today, this Midcentury Brazilian Modern Charcuterie Platter in Hardwood by Jean Gillon, is gorgeous!

Handcrafted from hard rosewood (also known as Jacaranda), this charcuterie platter features clean lines with elegant curves and two carved circles. The rosewood has two rich tones with stunning natural wood grain on both sides. Pieces like this, with a minimalist aesthetic, are iconic from Brazil in the sixties, and were catered not only for domestic, but for international markets as well. This platter will look awesome as a centerpiece on a table or sideboard. The wood has been refinished and besides minor marks of age, the piece is in excellent condition.

Jean Gillon was a Brazilian furniture designer born in Romania in 1919. He studied at the Architecture and fine arts Schools at the National University. He founded his first company Fábrica de Móveis Cidam in 1961 after emigrating to São Paulo, Brazil in 1956. Gillon's firm designed many luxury hotels throughout Brazil and homes and stores. He was known for his one of a kind tapestries. His second furniture company, WoodArt, produced full lines of Brazilian rosewood furniture and objects-utilizing upholstery and leather along with wood.
