ABOUT PRODUCTID 20546
This Art Deco napkin holder, produced by German manufacturer WMF in the 1930s–40s, represents functional decorative craftsmanship from the interwar period. Crafted from white metal with a silver-plated finish, it displays a cool, slightly matte metallic sheen with gentle patina and subtle darkening, especially in recessed areas. The openwork, highly geometric design features two sets of concentric circles intersected by solid metal discs, anchored by triangular and circular bases. Balanced proportions—16 cm in length, 3 cm in width, 7.5 cm in height—give the piece both stability and dynamic presence. The original WMF stamp on the underside confirms its authenticity. The item is in very good vintage condition, retaining its original elements and the authentic character of the era, with only minor patina typical for silver-plated metal of this period and no significant damage.The napkin holder, embodying the geometric spirit of Art Deco, tells a story of the 1930s’ fascination with rhythm and order. Its form evokes the pulse of a modern metropolis—circles and lines crossing like city roads and bridges, while the silvery surface reflects light in a way that lends the object a sense of lightness. Subtle discolorations and the soft matte finish hint at the social gatherings of a bygone era, when silver-plated table accessories were more an element of daily sophistication than a symbol of luxury.This piece can be paired with classic porcelain or simple, geometric glassware to highlight its architectural character. It would work well in both retro-inspired and minimalist contemporary interiors, serving as a discreet, decorative accent. Consider combining it with other Art Deco items—pressed glassware or silver-plated trays—to create a cohesive table setting where every detail references modernist design heritage.
