ABOUT PRODUCTID 16971
This geometric Art Deco napkin holder, most likely produced in Warsaw in the 1920s or 1930s, embodies the minimalist, functional attitude of its time. Crafted from brass with a silver-plated finish, its tone is warm silver with a matte to satin texture, subtly punctuated by soft glimmers where the silver layer remains less tarnished. The form centers around a pronounced trapezoid with sharply defined straight lines and angular corners, while two cube-shaped feet reinforce the piece’s architectural rhythm. The holder is free of decorative motifs, focusing attention on balanced proportions, clear silhouette, and precise joinery. Visible signs of age include a gentle patina, discoloration, minor surface scratches, and localized tarnish, yet there are no significant damages or traces of restoration. The original character and solid construction are preserved. Condition: good, with natural traces of age and use.
Within its restrained outline, the voice of Poland’s interwar period can be heard—the era when modernist logic and a taste for geometric clarity set new standards for everyday objects. The napkin holder recalls the urban interiors of historic Warsaw, where silvery metals and pure lines lent an atmosphere of order and quiet modernity. The patina evokes the memory of daily routines, while the soft silver luster quietly reflects ambient light without ostentation.
This piece could become a refined accent not only in a classic dining room, but equally on a minimalist table in a mid-century modern or eclectic collector’s interior. It would work well alongside pressed glass or porcelain from the 1920s and 1930s, as well as paired with white dinnerware, marble, or milk glass. Combining it with other metallic accessories—such as brass candlesticks or trays—would highlight the distinctive, geometric line of this subtle table objet.
