ABOUT PRODUCTID 11560
This table spoon, crafted by the Warsaw-based Fraget company around 1920, exemplifies one of the rarest patterns in Polish silver-plated tableware—the so-called Egyptian motif. Made of silver-plated brass, it displays a cool, silvery tone with a slightly matte finish characteristic of the technique. The handle is adorned with geometric reliefs inspired by ancient Egyptian art, featuring a decorative end and a symmetrical, balanced form that aligns with Art Deco principles. The smoothly contoured bowl transitions seamlessly into the ornate handle, creating a harmonious whole. The surface bears gentle scratches and a soft patina, typical of authentic objects from the era, with no significant damage or deformation. The construction remains solid and all decorative details are fully preserved. Condition: very good – the original aesthetic qualities and authenticity of details are retained.This spoon resonates with the spirit of the 1920s, when fascination with archaeological discoveries in Egypt permeated European applied arts. The geometric rhythms of the relief, reminiscent of hieroglyphics, and the disciplined form evoke an era captivated by dreams of exoticism and distant lands. Though designed for daily use, this piece stands as a testament to a time when even the most ordinary tableware carried artistic and cultural inspiration.The spoon would complement a collection of antique plated tableware or serve as a singular highlight in an Art Deco-inspired table setting. It pairs well with porcelain featuring geometric motifs or glassware from the period, especially in a minimalist arrangement that brings out the subtle Egyptian decoration. It could be combined with other silver-plated accessories from the 1920s for a cohesive historical context, or used as a discreet accent in a contemporary interior, offering a refined nod to the past.
