This 1930s German Art Deco nut or snack basket exemplifies the period’s geometric subtlety with its cool, silver-toned brass construction and thick, clear crystal insert. The basket rests on three polished spherical feet, lending stability and lifting the form gently above the table surface. Its round, architectural outline is accentuated by a rigid arched handle, wrapped with parallel, ribbed grooves that rhythmically order the design. Inside, a removable crystal insert features sleek faceted sides and a striking starburst cut at the base, capturing light and reflections with refined clarity. The brass structure displays a naturally developed patina and slight traces of age, while the crystal remains free of major damage or chips. The overall condition is very good, with only modest signs of vintage wear consistent with the age of the piece.This basket evokes the spirit of German Art Deco: geometric discipline softened by delicate decoration. The gently aged metal and the smooth crystal recall the 1930s, when utilitarian objects often mirrored architectural miniatures. The handle’s linear grooving hints at modernist cornices, while the crystal rosette radiates like a glimmer on a city sidewalk—together, the elements compose an elegant clarity that engages both touch and sight.On a low table in the living room, the basket may be paired with glass, brown or graphite-toned elements to highlight its geometric silhouette. It could be set alongside glazed ceramics, patinated vessels, or a graphic line drawing to accentuate its modernist presence. In Art Deco, classic modern, or eclectic collector’s interiors, the basket is equally suited as a functional serving piece or a decorative object reflecting a taste for vintage craftsmanship.No additional technical
