ABOUT PRODUCTID 11407
This Belgian salt shaker from the 1930s, crafted from silver-plated brass, is a quintessential artifact of the Art Deco era. Its compact, symmetrical, barrel-like form is defined by a pronounced horizontal ring dividing the body into two sections. The surface is matte-satin in a cool, muted silver, displaying subtle traces of age: fine scratches, local discoloration, and darker spots of oxidation, particularly around the ring and base. The absence of decorative engravings or colored accents emphasizes the minimalist, functional aesthetic, while the slightly flared base offers stability. Visible seams and the clear division of the body attest to the solidity of its construction. The piece remains in good condition, with authentic patina and signs of use, but shows no major structural damage.This salt shaker tells the story of Belgian urban modernity in the 1930s, when everyday objects embodied the refinement of simple materials and rigorous forms. Cool silver, gently patinated by time, recalls an era when luxury was expressed through function and meticulous detail. Every mark on its surface evokes scenes of elegantly set tables in Antwerp townhouses—moments when lamplight quietly reflected off metal accessories, creating a balanced and contemporary atmosphere.The salt shaker may serve as a subtle accent on the dining table of an Art Deco-inspired interior, especially when paired with geometric porcelain, glass decanters, or nickel-plated cutlery. It can equally find its place in a collector's display or within an eclectic arrangement, where its restrained, geometric form offers a calm counterpoint to more decorative elements. It is worth combining with other vintage pieces from various decades to highlight its modernist heritage.
