This Art Deco blotter from the 1930s, made in Germany, exemplifies the craftsmanship of metalwork from the era. Its core structure is brass, presenting a warm, muted gold tone with a subtle matte finish and visible patina. The rectangular base and cuboid handle, set upon a stepped plinth, form a composition defined by strong geometric and architectural lines—an embodiment of the streamlined aesthetic of its time. The piece features delicate silver-toned accents, likely nickel- or silver-plated brass, on the base and handle, which exhibit natural oxidation and traces of use. Most of the surface is smooth, with minor scratches, spots, and areas of discoloration. The visible seams and joints attest to the solidity of its construction, characteristic of German workmanship from the 1930s. The condition is good, with authentic signs of age but no major damage or repairs.This object speaks with the voice of an era when modernism was emerging—a time when even functional desk accessories were created with an eye for harmony between form and function. The blotter’s geometric silhouette reflects the pursuit of order and clarity so typical of Art Deco. The brass, with its quiet matte sheen and noble patina, conjures the ambiance of a German architect’s office, where every detail had its place and meaning. The sharp lines and cool metallic glints recount the story of interwar modernity—balanced, yet imbued with decorative discipline.This blotter could be placed on a desk in a
