ABOUT PRODUCTID 11399
This decorative platter by WMF, made in Germany at the end of the 19th century, is crafted from brass with a layer of silver plating. Its elongated, oval form with gently pointed ends is defined by precise contours and a subtle presence. The surface displays a muted, warm gold tone with an uneven patina—ranging from matte to semi-matte, highlighted by localized glossy areas where the finish has been touched or worn. Regular vertical openwork in the form of rectangular slits decorates the sides, imparting a sense of lightness to the structure. One end features a raised laurel branch motif, while the rim is adorned with fine beading, characteristic of neoclassical and Empire styles. The construction is meticulous, with well-defined edges and a stable, substantial feel, reflecting the craftsmanship of WMF. Condition is good, with minor scratches, small discolorations, and visible patina but no major damage or repairs.The shape of this platter echoes the artistic ambitions of late 19th-century Europe—a time when classical order was revered in domestic settings, and laurel and beaded motifs signified dignity and a pursuit of harmony. The openwork sides and delicate details conjure images of parlors where everyday objects contributed to a sense of tradition and refined aesthetics. The varied, genuine patina on the surface speaks of passing decades and the many hands that have woven this piece into daily rituals.The platter may serve as a striking decorative centerpiece on a classic living room table, where it pairs well with crystal, porcelain, or Empire-style candlesticks. It will also complement eclectic interiors—against dark wood, marble, or glass—emphasizing its historical context in a contemporary setting. Consider combining it with understated textiles or bold color accents to highlight the openwork details and the subtle glow of its golden patina.
