ABOUT PRODUCTID 11453
This openwork centerpiece, crafted in Germany in the 1950s, represents the late Art Deco tradition with elements of early modernism. The structure is based on solid brass coated with chrome, resulting in a cool, highly reflective finish. Its form is organic: the undulating, irregular rim evokes a blossoming flower or wind-rippled water, while the surface is adorned with a hammered, irregular texture. The entire piece is seamless, with no visible joints or fittings, and the edges are smoothly finished. The chromed layer amplifies the play of light, and the proportions are both sculptural and harmonious. The bowl is preserved in very good condition, showing no dents, scratches, or significant wear.This centerpiece seems to recount the story of an era when metal and light converged in experimental forms. Its dynamic silhouette conjures the vibrant energy of the postwar 1950s, when modernism drew inspiration from both nature and sculpture, and the mirrored surface reflects its surroundings like a tranquil lake at dawn. The hammered texture suggests movement, as if shaped by wind, while the organic body remains open to interpretation—both as a symbol of modernity and a tribute to the motifs of nature.In a living room arrangement, the bowl may be displayed on a wooden console or a marble surface to highlight the contrast of materials. It works well as a standalone piece against a neutral interior palette, complemented by other objects from the period, such as geometric metal candlesticks or minimalist ceramics. It could be paired with a single, expressive branch or left empty, serving as a sculptural accent in mid-century modern or eclectic vintage settings.
