ABOUT PRODUCTID 11603
This Art Deco nutcracker, crafted in Germany during the 1930s, is made from chromed brass, resulting in a mirror-like, silvery finish. The construction features a circular base supported by three tapered, conical columns, which provide stability and reinforce the geometric identity of the piece. At its center, a threaded rod is topped with a horizontal handle, ending in two large spherical knobs that serve both decorative and functional purposes. The entire form maintains a uniform metallic palette, with no added embellishments. The surface is smooth and meticulously polished, revealing precision-crafted details such as visible threads and finely machined joints. The proportions are balanced, and the overall composition is compact and cohesive. Condition is very good—only minimal patina is visible in select areas, with no dents, scratches, or other damage present.This object speaks to an era when craftsmanship met modernity and everyday tools became small works of art. Its reflective surface captures the ambiance of a modernist apartment, while the weight of chromed brass in hand evokes a time when even utilitarian items demanded thoughtful design. Geometric lines and the rhythmic repetition of details echo the order of the period, when light and metal defined a new language of domestic refinement.The nutcracker can be displayed on a console or shelf in the living room, creating a dialogue with other objects from the 1920s and 1930s, glassware, or chromed lamps. It will bring cohesion to an Art Deco interior, yet it also fits within eclectic, collector-oriented spaces—pairing well with mirrors in metal frames, boldly contoured porcelain, or dark wood to emphasize the contrast of materials and draw out the object's modernist spirit.
