ABOUT PRODUCTID 11674
This round bonbonniere, crafted from bronze in the Bracia Łopieńscy workshop in Warsaw during the 1920s, exemplifies the decorative arts of early twentieth-century Poland at the intersection of Art Nouveau and Art Deco. Its surface displays a warm, aged gold tone with a greenish patina from natural oxidation, accentuated by intricate concentric engraved bands. The ornamentation blends stylized floral and geometric motifs, while a beaded edge highlights the precision of the workmanship. The overall finish is predominantly matte, with subtle highlights on raised details. The proportions are harmonious, with a low, wide silhouette typical of decorative tableware of the era, and the construction is solid with crisp engravings. Condition: distinctly worn, with visible signs of age, discoloration, minor dents, and oxidation, but no significant structural damage.This bonbonniere echoes the spirit of interwar Warsaw—a period when artistic craftsmanship converged with modernity. Its ornamentation speaks to the transition from the flowing lines of Art Nouveau to the more geometric rhythms of Art Deco, while the patina tells of decades of domestic gatherings, celebrations, and everyday rituals. Each scratch and area of wear is a silent witness to the shared history that the bronze preserves.Such a bonbonniere could be placed on a period-inspired console in the living room or atop a turn-of-the-century chest of drawers, surrounded by glass or ceramics from the era. It may be paired with dark wood, marble, or velvet textiles to emphasize its golden patina and ornamental quality. It also serves as an accent in a collector's Art Deco-inspired interior or within an eclectic arrangement where historical objects engage in dialogue with contemporary pieces.
