ABOUT PRODUCTID 11677
This Art Deco nut basket, produced by the Norblin manufactory in Warsaw, exemplifies Polish craftsmanship of the 1930s, rooted in the functional elegance of the interwar period. Crafted from silver-plated metal, the basket has an oval shape with softly rounded corners and a sturdy, upright handle attached at the sides. The wide, flat handle accentuates the basket's solid construction, while the upper rim is adorned with a repeating geometric and botanical frieze, a hallmark of the Art Deco style that adds decorative detail to the restrained form. The cool, matte silver surface displays visible patina and areas of wear; in places, the plating has worn away, exposing the base metal beneath, while subtle dents and scratches highlight the hand-crafted nature and the object’s history of use. The proportions are harmonious and compact, lending the piece a sense of robustness. Condition is described as good: noticeable abrasions, surface scratches, small dents, and losses in the plating are present, but there are no major structural damages.The form of this basket echoes the voice of pre-war Warsaw, where functional clarity met a keen attention to decorative detail. The geometric frieze tells the story of an era in which optimism and modernity found expression in everyday objects. The silvery patina and tactile roughness of the metal seem to record the traces of past gatherings and festive rituals—the vessel stands as a silent witness to family conversations, repeated gestures, and traditions that shaped the table’s atmosphere in the 1930s.The Norblin basket can be used as a decorative accent on a console table or as a practical bowl for serving nuts, dried fruit, or pastries. It would work well alongside furniture and accessories from the 1920s
