ABOUT PRODUCTID 13156
An early 20th-century Art Nouveau platter crafted by WMF in Germany, this object presents an elongated oval silhouette, shaped from silver-plated brass with gently contoured, flowing rims. The cooling, subtly muted silver tone forms a subdued ground for asymmetrical botanical motifs at four points along the edge—ornamental accents characteristic of the Art Nouveau period—carefully integrated with understated geometric divisions across the surface. The centre features an etched oval cartouche framed by a meandering, rope-like border, while the rim is further embellished with shell-like embossings and raised lines, demonstrating a high calibre of metalwork. Construction elements are original and cohesive, without evidence of later repairs or replacements. Preserved in authentic antique condition, the platter displays natural patina, localised tarnish, and fine surface scratches, all consistent with a finely made, time-honoured object.Its contours and decorative language evoke the sensibility of the fin de siècle: the Secessionist style softens symmetry as metal is coaxed into flowing light across the surface. The naturalistic ornamentation tells the story of an era enamoured with the organic world and the expressive capacity of materials—a time when utilitarian objects aspired to artistry and daily rituals became moments for aesthetic reflection. The matte sheen of silver and palpable texture reflect years of presence, suggesting a history of shared meals and interiors where refinement and tradition held sway.This platter would come into its own on a classic dining table in a room of dark woods or displayed atop a hallway console, where its Secessionist curves and silvery patina can be appreciated. It could be paired with a clear glass dec
