ABOUT PRODUCTID 1791
This silver-plated napkin holder, produced in 1934 by the esteemed German brand Wellner, is crafted from alpacca (nickel silver) and features a cool, matte silver tone. The design is inspired by a strawberry leaf with two small, finely detailed fruits, each engraved with minute seeds. The symmetrical, three-lobed leaf with delicately serrated edges is set against a geometric, angular base—an interplay reflecting the Art Deco and late Art Nouveau influences characteristic of the early 1930s. The surface is smooth, with shallow relief accentuating the leaf veins and strawberry details, while the construction itself is precise, with clean lines and no visible joints or welds. The piece stands on two rounded feet, gently elevating it above the surface. The original maker's mark confirms authenticity. The overall condition is very good, with only minimal signs of wear and no dents or scratches. This petite object quietly echoes the voice of pre-war refinement: the subtle dialogue between organic and geometric forms conjures the ambiance of 1930s bourgeois interiors, where everyday surroundings gained a modern edge through expert craftsmanship and noble materials. The matte silver surface softly reflects light, while the engraved strawberries recall the era's fascination with nature-inspired detail. Within this miniature composition, there is a sense of discreet luxury and attention to the fine points, evoking images of a gathering nearly a century past—a delicate, functional accent that marries utility with ornament.
