This Art Nouveau centerpiece dates from around 1900 and was most likely produced in Germany, possibly by the WMF workshops. The structure features a double-arm base crafted from silver-plated brass and pewter, with a handle crowned by stylized floral motifs. Two glass plates, each measuring 15.5 cm in diameter, are adorned with finely etched floral and geometric patterns. The overall palette is a cool, silvery metallic tone with subtle patina, lending a sense of age and authenticity. The legs are embellished with sculpted female faces—a hallmark of the Art Nouveau era—highlighting the organic, flowing lines of the design. The composition is carefully balanced and shows meticulous attention to detail, reflecting the high standard of craftsmanship of its time. The metal surfaces remain smooth, with gentle signs of use but no visible damage or restoration. The centerpiece is in very good condition, with all elements appearing original and well-preserved.The form of this centerpiece speaks in the voice of the fin de siècle: an era when metal and glass merged into fluid, organic lines inspired by nature. The engraved glass captures and reflects light, emphasizing the ephemeral beauty of detail, while the female faces on the legs evoke the artistic salons of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This centerpiece seems to invite itself to the table, where everyday ritual meets the theatrical gesture of decoration and every element narrates a desire to elevate the ordinary.The centerpiece would find its place on a formal dining or living room table—one could pair it with fine porcelain in pastel tones, classic glassware, or silver cutlery. It would also serve as a striking focal point on a console or sideboard in interiors inspired by Art Nouveau,
