ABOUT PRODUCTID 11412
This silver-plated copper toothpick holder from 1930s Belgium embodies the spirit of Art Deco in an everyday object. Its cylindrical shape tapers gently towards the base, while the upper edge flares subtly outward, accentuating the geometric proportions typical of the era. The surface presents a cool, matte silver tone, with extensive areas of wear revealing warm, reddish-copper hues—especially along the decorative band encircling the top. A raised ornamented strip features small, geometric motifs, lending a sense of order and rhythm to the form. The texture combines smooth sections with a subtle patina; fine scratches, discoloration, and minor dents are visible but do not compromise the structural solidity. All original decorative details remain intact. The item is classified as being in good condition: clear signs of aging, exposed copper, and tarnishing are present, but the piece remains fully functional and cohesive.Within this modest object lies the voice of interwar Europe, a time when even the smallest table accessories were designed with an eye for harmony and a restrained decorative flair. The silvery surface, worn to copper in places, recalls an age when luxury and practicality went hand in hand, while the rhythmic decorative motifs evoke images of urban salons and restaurants of the 1930s. The patina and discoloration suggest a long history of use, as if the object once witnessed many gatherings and conversations at elegantly set tables.This toothpick holder could be displayed on a tray alongside other period accessories, such as silver-plated napkin rings or a crystal decanter, to highlight its historic character. It would serve as a distinctive accent on a collector’s sideboard or on a console beside a lamp with a geometric shade, reinforcing an Art Deco narrative within the interior. It could also be paired with modern, clean-lined objects to
