ABOUT PRODUCTID 13962
This cylindrical Art Deco vase, made of silver-plated pewter by Berndorf, Germany, in the early 20th century, presents an unadorned yet statement-making silhouette. The primary body is textured with a hammered, vertically arranged organic pattern—drop-like forms distributed symmetrically—which is contrasted by a smooth, gently flared rim and a polished circular base. Its matte silver surface, with patches of soft shine alongside a yellowish patina and areas of localized oxidation, bears testimony to the age and authenticity of the materials. Structural solidity and seamless joints create a sense of unbroken geometry, while general surface dullness and minor tarnishing indicate an authentic vintage character. The piece remains in good condition, displaying no major damage, cracks, or deep scratches.The vase captures the narrative spirit of its era—geometric restraint intertwined with refined, organic detail so characteristic of Art Deco. The hammered silver catches and modulates light, as if echoing droplets suspended in the air, while the evolving patina silently traces the passage of time through the metal. Berndorf's craftsmanship gives voice to a modernizing Europe: luxury measured and material-conscious, with a subdued approach to decorative excess. This is an object that might easily recount the story of a Viennese or Berlin interior of the 1920s—elegance that quietly endures.Within an interior, the vase would work well as a centerpiece on a dark wood sideboard, its texture and interplay with light coming to the fore. It may be paired with geometric lamps or period ceramics to emphasize its Art Deco heritage. It blends effectively with classic rooms or eclectic collector's spaces, and stands out especially against a neutral palette or minimalist graphics, introducing a restrained, decorative vintage accent.
