ABOUT PRODUCTID 22327
This Art Nouveau (Secessionist) centerpiece tray was crafted by Br. Henneberg in Warsaw around 1900–1915, exemplifying early 20th-century Central European metalwork. The tray features an irregular, softly undulating outline and pronounced asymmetry, drawing clear inspiration from natural forms—a hallmark of the Art Nouveau style. Made of silver-plated pewter, it displays a matte to satin silver surface with a cool, subtly warm tone, showing gentle patina and darkening in the recesses. The relief, three-dimensional botanical motifs—laurel leaves and a stylized flower—are sharply defined and raised above the background, creating dynamic visual movement. The seamless connections between the rim and decorative elements are achieved without visible joints; the underside bears the maker's mark and a catalogue number. Measuring 34.5 cm in length and 26 cm in width, the tray remains in good condition, showing minor period wear: fine scratches, even patina, and preserved original details, with no significant damage or repairs.The tray conjures the spirit of turn-of-the-century salons—a time when botanical motifs and fluid lines were not mere decoration, but an artistic philosophy. Its softly undulating edges and organic asymmetry evoke a dialogue with nature, while the cool silver sheen recalls the refined ambiance of urban interiors from a century ago, where applied arts stood alongside painting and sculpture. This piece quietly tells of bygone gatherings, of tables adorned with light and conversation, and of a passion for detail in harmony with the Art Nouveau ethos.The tray can be placed on a classic sideboard, console, or dining table in an interior inspired by Art Nouveau or historicist eclecticism. It may be paired with geometric
