ABOUT PRODUCTID 14090
This figural Art Nouveau vase, crafted in Germany at the beginning of the 20th century, exemplifies authentic period craftsmanship. Made of silver-plated pewter in a cool, silvery grey hue with a subtle aged patina, it features a sculptural representation of a child in rustic attire and floppy hat, thoughtfully leaning beside a large, realistically woven basket. The design is dominated by soft, organic lines and naturalistic motifs typical of early Secessionist style. The surface is matte, with gently polished highlights accentuating the hand-modeled, three-dimensional character of both figure and basket. Constructive elements, such as the join between child and vessel, are seamlessly integrated and invisible to the eye. The proportions between the figure and the basket are balanced, creating a cohesive, intimate sculptural composition. The overall condition is very good, with a uniform patina and only minor signs of age—no significant damage, losses, or repairs.The vase evokes the ambiance of the Art Nouveau era, when sculptural artistry began to inform everyday objects. The figure of the child—reminiscent of idyllic German postcards from over a century ago—harmonizes with the lyrical lines of early 20th-century design, quietly recounting stories of innocence, simplicity, and a longing for nature. Subtle light play on the silvered surfaces brings the details to life—much like dawn revealing the features of archival photographs—imbuing the piece with a gentle sense of nostalgia.Placed on a sideboard in a living room or displayed in a collector’s cabinet, the vase brings both decoration and narrative presence to the interior. It can be paired with other silvered accessories or figural works from the Art Nouveau period to reinforce visual unity. In a room inspired by Secessionist, modernist, or eclectic styles—especially when set against monoch
