ABOUT PRODUCTID 11411
This Art Deco bonbonniere from 1950s Germany is crafted from silver-plated brass. The cylindrical body features evenly spaced horizontal ribbing, giving the surface a bold geometric texture characteristic of late Art Deco design. The gently domed lid is topped with a simple, upright handle, highlighting a functional minimalism that bridges Art Deco and early modernist sensibilities. The surface displays a matte, patinated silver finish with natural discolorations—shades of brown, green, and blue—particularly where the silver plating has oxidized. The overall construction is robust, with all original components present and the lid fitting precisely onto the body. Condition: very good, with a distinguished patina and age-consistent signs of use.The form of this bonbonniere echoes the spirit of postwar Europe, where the 1950s became a quest for balance between tradition and modernity. The rhythmic ribbing recalls the structured geometry of Art Deco, while the subdued surface and restrained silhouette speak to a longing for functionality and the modesty of everyday life during the era of reconstruction. The patina across the brass is like a silent chronicle—light diffuses across its surface, and every glint tells of decades gone by and shifting design sensibilities, from the elegance of the 1950s to a contemporary collector’s appreciation.This bonbonniere can be placed on a living room sideboard or a hallway console, where its geometric form creates a subtle counterpoint to soft textiles and natural woods. It may be paired with other metallic accents, such as a silver frame or a matte brass lamp. In vintage-inspired settings, it would complement pressed glass or minimalist ceramics; in modern, pared-back interiors, it could serve as a singular, striking accent against a pale backdrop.
