ABOUT PRODUCTID 11296
This Art Deco bonbonniere, made in the United Kingdom during the 1950s, is crafted from silver-plated brass. The cylindrical body, uniformly covered with pronounced vertical fluting that extends to the precisely fitting lid, is a clear reference to the geometric vocabulary of late Art Deco. The surface, primarily cool silver, reveals a rich patina with hints of blue, gold, and darkened silver, creating a multi-layered, almost iridescent effect. The metalwork is precise and smooth to the touch, while the visual texture appears matte and subtly rough, with occasional glossy highlights where the patina has worn away. With no handles or superfluous ornamentation, the bonbonniere embodies the architectural, minimalist character characteristic of British postwar design. It is preserved in very good condition, showing only natural signs of age and patina that underline its authenticity.This piece carries the quiet voice of the 1950s: an era that valued form and proportion over ostentation. The silvery surface, nuanced with gold and blue, evokes the image of a light-filled interior where illumination dances across rhythmic grooves. If this bonbonniere could speak, it might recall evenings when candies or jewelry, kept inside, awaited a special moment—each lifting of the lid marking a new chapter in the daily rituals of home.The bonbonniere would be at home on a low console or sideboard in a living room inspired by modernism, Art Deco, or an eclectic collector’s space. It could be paired with crystal vessels from the same era, minimalist candlesticks, or a geometric ceramic sculpture. Its silvery tone and architectural simplicity resonate especially well against dark wood, marble, or softly patinated glass, suiting both classic and contemporary settings.
