French Cerused Oak + Rope Bottle Holder with Stand in the Manner of Adrien Audoux & Frida Minet, 1950s


This French bottle holder from the 1950s embodies the tactile poetry of Adrien Audoux and Frida Minet. Known for their dedication to natural materials and handcrafted forms, the duo’s influence is evident in the piece’s honest simplicity and sculptural presence.

The bottle holder nestles gracefully within the sculpted cerused oak frame. Crafted with care and intention, this piece brings the warmth of mid-century Provence indoors.
