This 1920s calling card tray is crafted from brass with a silver-plated finish. Its rectangular form features gently undulating, molded edges and a raised rim, reflecting a transitional style that bridges late Art Nouveau with the emerging clarity of early Art Deco. Subtle linear and cross-hatch motifs at the corners lend discreet rhythm to the border, while the matte, silvery surface reveals warm brass tones where the silver has softly worn away. The tray’s plane is unadorned, and the construction shows no visible joints or fasteners, emphasizing a minimalist concept and solid craftsmanship. Fine scratches, areas of patina, and minor discolorations bear witness to authentic age and use. The piece is preserved in very good condition, with natural signs of wear but free from major damage or repairs.This tray echoes the voice of the 1920s—a period when Europe sought a new language for everyday objects. Its restrained form and cool silvery tone speak of the shift from Art Nouveau’s opulence to the clarity of early modernism. Every faint scratch and patch of patina conjures an atmosphere of the interwar years, when even the smallest decorative object could express the evolving aesthetic and a sense of new order.The tray would serve well as a refined accent on a hallway console, a desk in a study, or a coffee table in the living room. It may be paired with geometric ceramics or period glass to highlight its balanced character. Interiors in the spirit of Art Deco, early modernism, or eclectic collector’s spaces would benefit from its quietly historical and timeless presence.
