This napkin holder, produced in Warsaw in the 1950s or 60s, is crafted from white metal with silver plating. The form rests on four decorative, scroll-shaped feet that provide stability and introduce botanical motifs. The main section features high-relief grapevine leaves with pronounced veins and rounded grape clusters, all executed with precise attention to detail. The color is a cool, matte silver with a subtle patina in the recesses, and the surface has a satin-matte finish with gentle highlights on the raised areas. The overall style reveals Art Nouveau influences: flowing, organic lines transition into stylized tendrils at the base. Dimensions: height 8.8 cm, length 12.8 cm, width 4 cm. The napkin holder is preserved in very good vintage condition, with only minor, natural signs of age—slight darkening in the recesses and delicate patina.Within this small object resonates the spirit of postwar Poland, where everyday items could combine utility with understated artistry. The matte silver evokes the atmosphere of family gatherings at the table, while the grapevine motif—a symbol of abundance and joy—seems to tell a story of hospitality and care for detail. The naturalistic relief and Art Nouveau rhythm of the lines suggest a time when even the smallest table accessories were designed with daily beauty in mind.It can be paired with porcelain from the 1950s or 60s, glass carafes, or stemware with simple, geometric forms to highlight the dialogue between ornamentation and restrained modernity. The napkin holder would work well in interiors inspired by mid-century modern or eclectic collectors’
