This early 20th-century Art Nouveau crumb set is crafted from silver-plated brass and consists of a wide, flat dustpan with gently undulating edges and a profiled handle, accompanied by a brush whose grip echoes the dustpan’s decorative motifs. Both pieces display a cool, matte silver tone with a consistent patina, through which subtle warm hues of brass emerge in areas of wear. The surfaces are adorned with hand-engraved floral and geometric motifs typical of Art Nouveau: flowing, organic lines and stylized leaves introduce rhythm and softness to the forms. The brush features natural bristles, likely horsehair, retaining their structure with visible but delicate signs of use. The set is solidly constructed, with well-fitted joints and no visible modern repairs. Condition: good, with a uniform patina, minor scratches, and preserved authenticity.The set evokes the refined rituals of turn-of-the-century salons, where attention to detail was a hallmark of hospitality and daily life was elevated to an art form. The silvery, satin-like surface reflects light softly, as if inviting calm gestures and a sense of discreet order. Art Nouveau lines recount a dialogue with nature—ornaments unfurl like plants, paying subtle homage to organic motifs intended to infuse everyday objects with artistry.The set can be displayed on a dark wood console, a glass shelf, or among a collection of porcelain, glass, or silver in classic or eclectic interiors. It would pair beautifully with other antiques or metal accessories, or provide an intriguing contrast in a minimalist setting. It may be complemented with soft textiles, cut crystal vessels, or period graphics, bringing a gentle historical narrative and a sense of
