ABOUT PRODUCTID 12637
This Art Nouveau fruit basket, crafted by the renowned German manufacturer Kaiser at the beginning of the 20th century, exemplifies the organic forms celebrated in early European modernism. The shallow, oval bowl features undulating, scalloped edges inspired by the natural world – motifs reminiscent of ocean waves or floral petals, rendered in a cool silver tone with a distinctly glossy, metallic finish. While the precise material remains unspecified, the basket evokes the sheen of polished pewter or silverplate. The arching handle is a focal point, composed of two sinuous, twisted rods joined at the apex with spherical accents, adding a sculptural dimension characteristic of the Art Nouveau era. Decorative, riveted mounts secure the handle to the bowl, showcasing craftsmanship typical of the period. The piece is consistently monochromatic, with the luminous silver surface catching and reflecting ambient light and highlighting the harmonious proportions – a shallow basin underscored by the tall, elegant arc of the handle. Condition is very good, with only minor surface scratches and gentle patina attesting to its age; there are no notable damages, restorations, or missing components.This basket tells the story of an era when artisans drew directly from nature to imbue household objects with a sense of rhythm and grace. Its fluid profile seems to echo the turn-of-the-century spirit: '
