This decorative platter, crafted in Poland in the 1950s, exemplifies Art Nouveau inspiration in its organic, asymmetrical form evoking overlapping maple leaves. The metal—likely bronze or brass—is hand-shaped with pronounced veining, serrated edges, and a spiraled stem, all rendered with naturalistic detail. The surface features a warm, deep brown color with a subtle patina and darker accents in the recesses, while the matte finish and soft highlights enhance the three-dimensional quality. The texture is slightly rough, the details are precise, and the solid, seamless construction reveals skilled craftsmanship. The bowl’s proportions are harmonious, and its composition reflects the Art Nouveau fascination with natural motifs. The platter is in very good condition, with only a natural, even patina and no damages or repairs.This platter resonates with the voice of Central European Art Nouveau—a current that, even in the postwar 1950s, continued to inspire Polish artisans. The form, as if leaves were caught mid-fall, evokes the fleeting nature of the seasons and the desire to preserve their beauty in enduring material. The soft color transitions, matte sheen, and naturalistic detail allow the piece to tell a story of autumnal light and artists' fascination with the organic world.The platter can be displayed on a sideboard or console, where its organic shape will be complemented—whether in a living room inspired by Art Nouveau, among potted plants and textiles, or in a modern, minimalist setting, where material contrasts will highlight its artistic character. It pairs well with other metallic accents or glass to emphasize the subtle sheen and depth of its patina.
