ABOUT PRODUCTID 11698
This 1950s British salt cellar, crafted from silver-plated brass, embodies a restrained form that bridges late Art Deco and post-war modernism. The construction features a square base with gently rounded corners, each adorned with openwork organic motifs. The central bowl is smoothly integrated into the base, with no visible seams or welds, emphasizing the harmonious flow of the piece. The surface combines matte areas with subtle, uneven shines—especially inside the bowl and on raised details, where the silvering has been softly worn by use. The color palette is a warm, muted silver with a slight golden undertone, enriched by natural patina and local discoloration. Delicate scratches and traces of age are visible, particularly around the decorative cutouts and edges. The texture alternates between smooth and subtly pitted, reflecting authentic vintage character with no modern repairs or interventions. The salt cellar remains in very good condition, bearing genuine signs of use and a noble patina typical of original mid-century tableware.The form tells the story of post-war Britain, a time when even everyday table accessories were thoughtfully designed with careful attention to detail and proportion. The geometric base and organic openwork decorations recall an era when modernist simplicity met the soft rhythm of Art Deco and late Art Nouveau. The patinated silver seems to whisper of family gatherings and shared meals, while the smooth bowl, circled by delicate cutouts, evokes the atmosphere of conversations and rituals that leave their mark like a subtle chronicle on its surface.This salt cellar could complement a table setting inspired by mid-century modern, highlighting both tradition and discreet Art Deco references. It can be paired with porcelain featuring geometric patterns or simple glassware
