ABOUT PRODUCTID 23142
This Art Nouveau coffee set, produced by Kolnerwerkstatte in Germany around 1900, consists of three pieces: a sugar bowl, creamer, and tray. The dominant material is copper with a warm, satin sheen, complemented by brass handles in a contrasting golden tone. Each element displays characteristic Art Nouveau features – flowing, organic lines and stylized botanical ornaments. The vessels' vertical striations evoke tree bark, while the tray's edges and handles are adorned with undulating, plant-like forms and subtle, raised bead details. The proportions are harmonious, with gently flared rims, rounded bodies, and softly contoured handles. The surface is smooth with a fine texture, and the set is preserved in very good condition, showing only discreet traces of patina and minimal surface marks typical for its age and authenticity.This coffee set seems to narrate the spirit of the turn of the century: organic lines and delicate motifs evoke the era of Art Nouveau—a time when nature inspired, and artisans sought harmony between function and decoration. The satin glow of copper recalls mornings in bourgeois parlors, where conversation and coffee flowed as gently as the undulating ornaments. Every detail, from the reliefs to the tiny raised dots, whispers of a reverence for natural forms and a pursuit of everyday beauty.The set may be placed on a credenza or dining table in a collector’s, eclectic interior, where it would pair well with dark wood and softly contoured glassware. It could be combined with historic porcelain, classic linen napkins, or pressed glass to underscore its Art Nouveau roots. In a more contemporary arrangement, the set may serve as a decorative accent—displayed on a marble tray or minimalist table, where its sculptural presence and noble patina come to the fore.
