ABOUT PRODUCTID 19570
This decorative plate, originating from Sweden in the 1950s, is crafted from brass and silver-plated, resulting in a cool, mirror-like sheen emblematic of the postwar Art Deco revival. Its wide, contoured rim features a scalloped, undulating motif—firmly rooted in the geometric traditions of the 1920s and 1930s yet subtly echoing the ornamental flair of the Baroque. The overall form is harmonious: a broad decorative edge encircles a gently sloped, shallow central field, all realized as a single cast piece without additional fittings or embellishments. The surface reveals evidence of hand-finishing—high polish interrupted by fine scratches, small stains, and spots of natural oxidation. The condition of the plate is good, with patches of patina and minor blemishes consistent with age and use, but showing no major damages or repairs.Light and shadow reflect across the silvered surface, telling the story of Scandinavian fascination with geometry and the aesthetics of the everyday. The rim forms a gently repeating rhythm of soft contours, as if capturing a moment in time where modernism brushes against a touch of old-world ornament. The metallic coolness of silver here is less distancing and more calming, introducing a sense of restrained elegance typical of Northern European design. Every subtle mark on the plate tells of long use and the stories it may have witnessed over decades.A serving piece of this nature could work well as a centerpiece on a refined dining table or atop a sideboard, where it may be paired with low-profile clear or colored glass vases or clean-lined ceramics. Mid-century modern interiors or eclectic, collector-inspired arrangements will particularly highlight its decorative qualities—it could be combined with geometric textiles,
