This Rococo-style silver napkin holder, dating from 1900–1930, is crafted in 800 fine silver and bears a maker’s mark. Its form draws on florid motifs: the central section is adorned with roses and leaves in high relief, while the entire object is shaped as an openwork fan with a gently arched top and scalloped edges. Four small, decorative feet echo the botanical ornamentation of the body, giving the piece both stability and a sense of lightness. The dominant tone is a cool, softly patinated silver, mostly matte, with subtle highlights on raised surfaces that catch the light delicately. Dimensions: height 7.4 cm, width 3 cm, length 10.5 cm, weight 69 g. The condition is very good – only minor traces of natural use and patina are visible, with no damage or repairs.This napkin holder evokes the refined table settings of the early 20th century, when silver was an essential element of both everyday and festive dining. Its fan-shaped silhouette, softened by fluid lines and dynamic ornamentation, seems to narrate an era when the gesture of offering a napkin carried significance and the act of gathering at the table was a celebration of craftsmanship and detail. The interplay of light across the raised motifs and gentle surface wear conjures the quiet splendor of historic salons—spaces where every table accessory had its own story to tell.It may be used in a classic dining room with a heavy wooden table, paired with porcelain dinnerware and crystal glasses to emphasize a historical atmosphere. Alternatively, it could serve as a singular accent in a minimalist interior, where its intricate detailing and silvery sheen become a striking counterpoint to simple forms. It is worth combining with other antique silver pieces or introducing into a modern setting to offset the austerity of glass or marble and add a subtle narrative from the past.
