This pair of oval silver plates, crafted from 835 silver, originates from Germany at the turn of the 20th century. Each plate measures 10.5 cm in diameter, with a combined weight of approximately 85 grams. The surface is highly polished and mirror-like, entirely smooth and free from engravings or decorative patterns. The gently undulating, scalloped rim adds a soft, organic outline—an echo of the Art Nouveau influences prevalent in early 20th-century European design. The silver has a cool, neutral tone, and the seamless construction with no visible joints or soldering attests to a high standard of silversmithing. The condition is very good—there are no visible traces of intensive use or restoration, and the surfaces have been carefully cleaned of patina.These plates evoke the quiet rituals of breakfasts and afternoon gatherings in German homes at the dawn of the last century. Their mirror-like surfaces catch the light of candles or daylight, setting a subtle daily rhythm at the table. The delicately wavy rim whispers of an era fascinated by soft lines and organic forms—an age when craftsmanship and function were held in equal esteem.These plates may serve as refined accents for presenting desserts, small sweets, or as elegant saucers for cups in a classic dining room or living space. They work well alongside porcelain with subtle decoration or in minimalist table settings, where their silvery gloss introduces a note of quiet distinction. Pairing them with crystal glasses or a crisp white tablecloth could emphasize the timeless spirit of a table inspired by the turn of the 20th century.No special care is required beyond regular, gentle polishing with a soft cloth designed for silver, which will help maintain their mirror finish and prevent tarnishing. 835 silver is known for its durability and resilience in daily use, allowing these authentic antiques to be enjoyed both aesthetically and practically.
