ABOUT PRODUCTID 20030
This Art Nouveau pedestal, crafted in Austria in the early 20th century, is made from brass plated with silver. Its geometric, three-dimensional horseshoe form is accented by six realistically modeled, faceted nails, reinforcing the equestrian theme. The upper section is finished with a satin-sheen jockey cap, providing a decorative and thematic touch. The matte silver surface is warmed by golden-brass undertones revealed at the points of natural wear and edges. The open, airy construction is supported by a gently arched rear element, ensuring stability and proportion. The central opening is designed to hold a pocket watch. Craftsmanship is evident in the precise soldering and finely executed details. The proportions (height 12 cm, width 14 cm, depth 9 cm) and harmonious lines emphasize the spirit of its era. The condition is very good, with only minor wear typical for antiques of this period, and no significant damage or repairs.This pedestal evokes the spirit of fin-de-siècle Vienna—here, the horseshoe is not merely a symbol of luck, but also one of prestige and a passion for equestrian pursuits. The jockey cap subtly references the world of horse racing and salons where the ticking of a pocket watch set the day’s rhythm. The softly patinated, matte surface recalls decades past—gentle wear and fine scratches serve as quiet markers of previous generations, granting the piece individuality and authenticity.The pedestal may be paired with a substantial oak or mahogany desk, becoming a discreet yet distinctive accent. It also works well on a minimalist console alongside leather writing accessories, an antique map, or a lamp with
