This early 20th-century Art Nouveau electric kettle was produced by Protherm in Germany between 1910 and 1920, epitomizing the era's pioneering approach to electrified kitchenware. Crafted from brass with a tin-plated interior, its warm, mirror-polished golden body is distinguished by a hand-hammered texture on the main form, while the base and spout remain smooth and reflective. The kettle stands on three small black feet, lending both stability and a subtle graphic contrast to the metallic sheen. Its arched, movable brass handle features a central black insulating grip, echoed by the domed lid's black knob. The elegantly curved spout and visible rivets at the handle joints underscore the robust yet refined construction. The overall form is rounded and harmonious, with soft, flowing lines characteristic of Jugendstil. Condition is described as very good, with only minor patina and minimal signs of age, without visible damage or repairs.This kettle resonates with the spirit of the early 1900s—a time when art and technology converged in everyday objects. The brass, hand-hammered surface and gentle contours narrate the story of Art Nouveau: an era where even utilitarian tools became vessels of aesthetic ideals. Its architectural proportions and interplay of black and gold evoke scenes of Edwardian tea salons, where the promise of modernity carried a sense of opulent novelty.It can be displayed on an open kitchen shelf alongside period porcelain, or on a console in an entrance hall, paired with a geometric tray and minimalist ceramics to highlight the dialogue between heritage and contemporary form. The kettle finds a natural place in eclectic, Art Deco, or classic Jugendstil interiors, but it could also be combined with understated modern settings, serving as a discreet yet
