This openwork napkin holder, crafted by Bracia Henneberg in Warsaw during the 1920s, is made of galvanised brass, giving it a cool, silvery metallic tone with a subtly reflective, glossy finish. The surface features finely cut, organic and geometric motifs characteristic of late Secessionist and early Art Deco design—rhythmic lines, stylised plant forms, and balanced symmetry define its decorative silhouette. The structure rests on a flat, stable base with small rounded feet, completed by gently contoured edges. The underside bears the manufacturer's signature and catalogue number. The item is in very good condition; the original finish has a delicate patina and minimal signs of age, emphasising its authenticity and provenance.This napkin holder echoes the spirit of interwar Warsaw: its fan shape conveys the rhythm of Art Deco, while the gentle gleam of metal reflects the light of bygone salons and café tables. Its openwork pattern recalls the lightness and modernity of an era in which even the most everyday object was invested with artistry and purpose. The fan motif suggests a sense of movement and hospitality, as though whispering stories of gatherings over tea and conversations that linger in memory.It can be paired with porcelain tableware or silver cutlery on a classically set table, highlighting the refined lines of Art Deco or eclectic collector’s interiors. It also works as a decorative accent on a console in the living room or displayed in a glass-fronted cabinet—combine it with period pieces such as crystal vases or geometric metal candlesticks to draw out its historical context and enduring form.
