This silver napkin holder, crafted in Warsaw between 1920 and 1931, is a fine example of Art Deco design, evident in its geometric, symmetrical outline and restrained decoration. The cool, matte silver surface—with a subtle, uniform patina—provides a backdrop for the raised cluster of grapes at the center, surrounded by delicately openworked vine leaves and curling tendrils. The overall composition is accentuated by simple, gently curved feet that ensure stability, while the entire piece remains monochromatic silver without additional color accents. The underside bears a hallmark featuring a woman's head in a scarf and the silversmith's initials WH. Dimensions: height 9.6 cm, width 4 cm, length 12 cm, weight 57 g. The condition is very good, with only slight signs of age such as minimal patina and surface wear, without any damage or repairs.The form of this napkin holder echoes the spirit of the 1920s, when Polish artistic craftsmanship sought a new language in both simplicity and ornamentation. Its geometric silhouette and filigree openwork align with the Art Deco vocabulary, transforming an everyday object into a subtle vessel of refined taste. The patinated silver hints at a past era—at elegant gatherings and an attention to detail—when even a table accessory could be a small work of art, and the grape motif symbolized abundance and the joy of feasting.This napkin holder can be used on a classically set table or within a more eclectic collector’s interior, bringing character to a library, living room, or dining area. It may be paired with other silver or glass accessories—such as a fruit bowl, decanter, or candlesticks—to highlight the rhythm of its geometric lines and details. It also works well as a focal point on a minimalist linen
