ABOUT PRODUCTID 19403
This Art Deco centerpiece bowl, produced by WMF in Germany during the 1930s, exemplifies the refined metalwork of its era. Crafted from silver-plated brass, the bowl features a cool silvery-white satin-matte surface with radiating, wave-like fluted grooves, and rests on three spherical feet typical of modernist tableware of the period. The color is consistent throughout, without additional ornamentation or inlaid accents, emphasizing the clarity of the lines and the ornamental restraint of the design. No visible repairs, welds, or dents are present; the seamless craftsmanship and subtle natural patina speak to excellent preservation, with only minimal traces of age and no mechanical damage—its overall condition is very good.This piece expresses the spirit of the 1930s, a time when designers sought new order in everyday objects by merging industrial precision with organic inspirations. The Ikora collection, to which this bowl belongs, was conceived as a manifesto for balance—a gentle interplay of modernist optimism and the hopes of the interwar years. The silvery surface diffuses light with softness, while the evenly contoured rim evokes the opening of a flower or the undulation of a wave. Every contour tells a story of discreet sophistication and the era's longing for order and tranquility.The bowl may be placed as a centerpiece on a dining table or on a console in a living room, where its geometric discipline contrasts beautifully with the soft textures of textiles or glassware. It can be combined with other metal or glass accessories from the Art Deco period, or with simple contemporary collector’s forms, adding subtle historical depth.
