This Art Deco napkin holder, crafted in Warsaw in the 1940s–50s, features a distinctive fan-shaped silhouette with symmetrical, radiating openwork of elongated teardrop and circular perforations. The primary material is silver with a cool, slightly matte satin sheen, characteristic of polished but not highly reflective sterling. The surface is smooth and even, without signs of tarnish or discoloration, and the construction rests on four small rectangular feet, gently elevating the piece and emphasizing its geometric logic. There are no additional decorations or colored accents, highlighting the minimalist, functional elegance. Precisely cut edges and carefully soldered joints attest to the quality of the workmanship. The underside is marked with a Polish silver hallmark (third head of a woman in a scarf) and the silversmith’s initials 'HA', confirming authenticity and Warsaw provenance. The overall condition is very good – no dents, scratches, or repairs are visible.The form of this napkin holder speaks to its era: geometric simplicity is combined with the lightness and finesse typical of late Art Deco, where function met decorative restraint. The silvery surface absorbs and reflects light, casting subtle highlights that shift throughout the day. The openwork pattern evokes the architecture of early modernism, as if telling stories of pre-war cafés and the table’s quiet elegance, when every detail served both purpose and beauty.The napkin holder could be matched with porcelain of clean lines or contemporary glassware, emphasizing the contrast between historic form and modern minimalism.
