ABOUT PRODUCTID 13583
This Art Nouveau fruit basket, crafted from chromed brass, originates from Germany in the early 20th century. Its silhouette reflects Jugendstil's embrace of openwork form— the body features pronounced, geometric contours ornamented with pierced garlands and stylized festoon motifs, completed by an elegantly arched movable handle with linear cut-outs. Functional refinement is expressed through a removable, clear glass insert—presumably original—which supports both aesthetic and practical use. The upper rim and petite feet are seamless, with handle joints secured by slim rivets and delicate soldering. The color palette is matte silvery chrome, interspersed with authentic patina and natural discoloration that enhance its historical character. The basket remains in good overall condition—minor scratches, gentle tarnishing, and patinated areas are present, without signs of major repair, while the structure stays stable and complete.The basket's form is a subtle manifesto of early modernity, telling a story from an era welcoming metal and light into domestic ritual. Art Nouveau openwork unfurls in rhythmic lines, channeling the spirit of early 20th-century German salons where ornament existed without weighty excess. The aged chrome, softly patinated, lets the object speak in the language of artefacts that recall bygone social breakfasts and sophisticated gatherings; the glass insert elegantly reconciles function with the decorative narrative.This piece could serve as a centrepiece for a living room—placed atop a classic sideboard or the centre of a light wood table as a fruit bowl. Beside clear glassware or silver-plated accents, the stylized Art Nouveau decorations would come to the fore. It is well-suited to historic eclectic interiors, but also
