ABOUT PRODUCTID 13226
This Art Deco pedestal centerpiece or cake stand, crafted in Germany during the 1930s, exemplifies the functional yet refined design language of the era. Made of pewter plated with silver, the piece displays a cool, muted silver-gray color, its matte surface interspersed with remains of original gloss. Time has left visible traces: deep, irregular patina, variegated dark spots, and signs of oxidation across the bowl and base. The shallow, perfectly round dish sits atop a slender stem accented by two understated rings and is supported by a gently flared, wide foot—each element echoing the geometric restraint typical of Art Deco. The structure is original, with all connections intact, displaying no evidence of repairs or restoration. Light scratches, minor pitting, and areas of tarnish bear witness to years of use. The overall condition remains good for its age: the piece is structurally sound and stable, retaining its genuine historical patina without major damage.This centerpiece carries the atmosphere of interwar German elegance—a time when function and symmetry converged in the quiet austerity of noble materials. Its pure form, devoid of superfluous ornament, tells the story of an era in which progress and timeless modesty found expression in the simplest lines. The muted, silvery gray whispers of transience; each patch of patina evokes gatherings and moments now folded into memory.Today, the centerpiece could become a focal point on a living room table, either alone or adorned with fruit or dried branches, highlighting an industrial or modernist interior scheme. It pairs well with black ceramics or clear glass in minimalist, collector-style arrangements and also finds its place within eclectic settings, where its geometric silhouette can engage in dialogue with objects from different periods—serving as a subtle counterpoint to contemporary glassware or the discipline of modern minimalism.
