ABOUT PRODUCTID 13456
This decorative fruit and nut basket from Germany, crafted in the 1930s, exemplifies interwar tableware at the crossroads of late Art Deco and early Jugendstil. The body is made of brass in a warm golden tone with a medium sheen and pronounced patina that enhances its antique character. All sides feature detailed, embossed reliefs of roses, leaves, and fruit, echoing the rich ornamentation of the era. The rectangular form is balanced by four round brass feet and a solid, angular handle, attached with visible rivets and punctuated by decorative perforations for a subtle geometric touch. The upper section contains a clear, faceted glass or crystal insert, its polished edges offering a refined counterpoint to the ornate brass. The piece is in very good condition, with only minor signs of use and age-appropriate patina, typical for vintage objects of this type.The brass body, with its tactile relief and mellow glow, conjures memories of Sunday gatherings in interwar interiors—spaces where every detail told a story of comfort and cultivated taste. As light traces over the geometric handle and the cut crystal insert, the basket recalls a time when tableware was both ornamental and functional. The clear, polished glass brightens the lush golden motifs, hinting at a balance between exuberance and restraint.The basket is ideally placed on a living room table or sideboard, serving as a focal point alongside other 1930s porcelain or glassware. It can be paired with platters or candlesticks from the same era for a cohesive historical effect, or with simple modern ceramics to highlight a contrast in styles. It is well suited to Art Deco-inspired settings with velvet fabrics and dark woods, as
