ABOUT PRODUCTID 11693
This Art Nouveau platter, crafted in Sweden in the 1920s, exemplifies the craftsmanship of its era, blending organic inspiration with modern metalworking techniques. Formed from a single piece of brass and finished with a layer of silver plating, the platter features a cool, silvery tone subtly warmed by the brass base that emerges where the silver has thinned. The undulating rim, shaped into fluid, wave-like lines, is highlighted by raised, concentric grooves characteristic of the Art Nouveau period. The semi-matte surface displays a soft, diffused sheen, with fine scratches, areas of tarnish, and uneven discoloration visible especially along the edge and central area. The design is balanced and harmonious, without handles or additional fittings, and shows no visible joints or seams. The overall condition is very good, with clear signs of age and use but no dents or structural damage.The form of this platter echoes the voice of Scandinavian Art Nouveau, where flowing lines and organic motifs reflected a fascination with nature and its rhythms. The wavy border suggests the tranquil movement of a river or the outline of a leaf, while the gentle patina speaks of decades gone by, daily rituals, and light softly playing across the silvered surface. The platter seems to recount an era when craft and art were inseparable, and every object held a place in the domestic ceremony.This platter may be displayed atop a console table in the living room, creating a subtle counterpoint to glassware, ceramics, or raw wood. It can be paired with simple-form tableware or other early 20th-century objects to underscore its Art Nouveau heritage. Silver-plated brass complements both light and dark surfaces, introducing a measured detail and historical context—particularly suited to vintage and eclectic interior schemes.
