ABOUT PRODUCTID 13182
This Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) cigar container, made of brass, originates from Germany in the early 20th century. The body presents a warm, subdued gold tone accentuated by a rich natural patina, the result of authentic brass aging. The top rim undulates in an organic wave, creating gentle folds — a hallmark of Art Nouveau, with its affinity for fluid, nature-inspired lines. The cylindrical form, featuring a subtly uneven, hand-worked texture, is free from embossed or inlaid decoration, while the broad, flat bottom with rounded edges lends the piece a grounded stability. Absence of visible seams reflects careful, traditional craftsmanship. The container is preserved in good antique condition: patina, discoloration, and traces of oxidation are consistent with age; there are no cracks, chips, or structural imperfections.The brass tells its story through the language of Jugendstil — a time when forms borrowed from lilies and flowing water replaced the angular, yielding to curves and lightness of touch. This cigar container seems to whisper of parlors where ritual and attention to detail shaped daily life: a spiral of smoke, the tactile heft of a cigar, and the dulled glimmer of gold shadowed by years. Its patina and tactile surface texture recall the evolving aesthetic of fin-de-siècle Germany, when artisans sought the harmony between simplicity and the unforced rhythms of nature.Placed in a collector’s lounge or an eclectic study, this container would sit comfortably atop a vintage desk, a dark wood sideboard, or next to a hand-forged ashtray. It integrates well with other Secessionist-period accessories: a glazed ceramic tray, a brass pen holder, or lamps with opaline glass shades. Alternatively, juxtaposing it with minimalist textiles or
