ABOUT PRODUCTID 19778
This Swedish Art Deco bonbonnière from the 1930s pairs clear, slightly warm-toned crystal with a silver-plated brass lid. The vessel’s body features deep, vertical geometric cuts forming a faceted surface that skillfully captures and disperses light, producing an intricate pattern of reflections and highlights, especially under side lighting. The domed, gently conical lid with its spherical finial displays a restrained modernist sensibility, accented by a subtle patina and visible aging on the metal. The interplay between the lustrous, antiqued metal and the crisp clarity of crystal underscores the period’s affinity for geometric form and careful material contrast. The overall condition is good for its age: the crystal shows no chips or cracks, while the metal lid bears natural patina, some discoloration, and fine scratches indicative of vintage use.This bonbonnière reflects the story of the 1930s, an era when form was guided by geometric discipline and ornamentation found expression through light and shadow. Faceted crystal panels behave almost as prisms, gathering the golden glow of afternoon sunlight, while the silvered brass lid—with its traces of oxidation—quietly records a chronology of use. The piece invites its viewer to linger, evoking images of genteel gatherings and the understated luxury of a time when utility and decorative rigor coexisted in harmony.Within a modern interior, this bonbonnière could grace a dark wood sideboard or a classic glass tabletop, paired with other period crystalware or a simple silvered tray. It would function as a decorative highlight in an Art Deco-inspired living room, or serve as a contrasting accent in an eclectic collector’s setting. Pairing it with lacquered objects or a lamp of geometric form may further emphasize its sculptural silhouette against a softly illuminated background.
