ABOUT PRODUCTID 13165
This round Art Nouveau tray, crafted in Austria in the early 20th century, combines the smooth, white surface of porcelain with a silver-plated brass rim. The center is adorned with a hand-painted floral composition featuring pink and white chrysanthemums with vibrant green leaves. The organic, fluid lines of the decoration embody the character of European Art Nouveau, reflecting the refined craftsmanship of turn-of-the-century Austria. The gently aged, matte rim with a visible patina subtly frames the central artwork, letting the floral motif become the tray's main ornament. The piece is in good antique condition, with minor scratches and light discoloration characteristic of gentle use, while retaining its structural integrity and showing no signs of restoration.This tray carries the quiet voice of an era enamored with natural inspirations and fluid ornamentation. The delicate porcelain echoes Viennese salon culture, where Art Nouveau flourished in curvilinear forms and floral symbolism like chrysanthemums, representing sophistication and ephemeral beauty. The coolness of the silver-plated metal rim contrasts the warm, painterly softness of the center—an interplay between utilitarian function and decorative artistry, true to the spirit of Austrian belle époque collectibles.The tray may be used as a decorative accent on a coffee table or console, especially alongside porcelain ornaments or a vintage cut-glass decanter. It can be combined with other Art Nouveau pieces such as vases, botanical-motif candlesticks, or furniture with sinuous lines. Interiors referencing Art Nouveau, eclectic collector’s salons, or classic dining settings would easily harmonize with this piece’s subtle, historic character.
