ABOUT PRODUCTID 13245
This Art Nouveau WMF basket, created in early 20th-century Germany, is a testament to the renowned craftsmanship of the period. Fashioned from brass with a silver-plated finish, it is characterized by a cool silvery hue accentuated with softly aged patina and areas of gentle shine on the raised, repoussé details. Its proportions are low and wide, with gracefully sloped walls emphasizing its ornamental function. The surface features a symphony of Jugendstil botanical motifs – undulating, organic lines, stylized leaves and floral decorations running along both the rim and the elegantly arched handle. Precise openwork and careful metal repoussé highlight the technical finesse and underlying symmetry of the design, lending the piece visual lightness despite its historical weight. Light surface wear and fine scratches reflect its antique age, while the absence of major damage preserves its authentic, collectible condition.The basket tells the story of Art Nouveau Europe, where form and nature became one in a dialogue between utility and ornament. Botanical lines flow and curve like a silent river caught in silver, each curve recalling salons and refined gatherings of the turn of the century, when objects served as both function and art. There is a sense of frozen movement, as if the basket holds a fragment of early 20th-century narratives within its metallic contours.Such a piece could be placed in an eclectic collector's interior or a living room styled after the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It may be displayed on a lacquered dark-wood sideboard to highlight its silvery glow, or paired with era-specific ceramics and glassware for a fuller historical context.
