ABOUT PRODUCTID 13163
This early 20th-century Art Nouveau tray, crafted in Austria, combines white porcelain with silver-plated brass to create a harmonious object typical of the period. The oval form is accented by a hand-painted central motif of grapes in shades of purple, burgundy, and golden yellow, entwined with detailed leaves and vine tendrils. The rim is fashioned from silver-plated brass with a soft satin finish and naturally aged patina, while the piece stands on slightly raised, rounded brass feet. The surface presents a gentle interplay of gloss from the porcelain and a refined matte of metal, united by the organic, decorative spirit of the era. The condition is very good: the porcelain displays characteristic fine crazing and age-related usage marks, without structural damage; the metal retains a subtle patina in keeping with its history.The tray evokes a dialogue with the Art Nouveau epoch, when craftsmanship and a fascination with organic forms went hand in hand. The painted clusters of grapes and visible brushwork convey an atmosphere reminiscent of turn-of-the-century salons, where objects of daily use became vessels for personal ritual and quiet ceremony. The metallic rim frames the vivid, nature-inspired central composition, lending subtle elevation and balance to the design.It would be well suited to a classic living room, displayed on a sideboard or within a vintage cabinet, especially amidst crystal glassware or period porcelain. In more eclectic interiors, the tray may serve as a focal point on a coffee table, accompanied by ceramics or soft, ambient lighting. Alternatively, it can be used as an elegant base for a decanter or a selection of fruit; its flowing natural motif complements tactile fabrics and brass or antique gold accents in the décor.
