ABOUT PRODUCTID 1666
This Art Nouveau bottle stopper, produced by German manufacturer WMF around 1905, combines metalwork with natural cork. The handle, shaped as a stylized deer antler, is crafted from silver-plated pewter, while the collar is made of silver-plated brass, showing areas where a warm golden tone of the underlying metal appears through the worn silver layer. The cork segment retains its original light hue and visible grain, offering a tactile connection to natural material. The overall form follows organic, flowing Art Nouveau lines, with asymmetrical shapes inspired by nature. The metal surfaces display visible patina, minor loss of silver plating, and authentic signs of use, all consistent with its age and origin. The structure is solid, with securely joined elements, and the proportions balance the vertical accent of the antlers with the gentle curve of the stopper. The piece evokes an atmosphere of historic salons, where utilitarian objects also carried narratives of tradition and time. The cool, matte silver finish and the tactile cork conjure the sensation of items handed down through generations. The antler motif introduces a subtle woodland reference, echoing early 20th-century European hunting traditions. This object communicates both a respect for craftsmanship and an organic freedom of form—an enduring resonance from the Art Nouveau era that can be felt in hand. It may be used as a functional closure for a wine bottle or decanter, suitable for both daily dining and special occasions. The stopper pairs well with a classic crystal decanter or simple glassware, highlighting the contrast between its Art Nouveau lines and contemporary minimalism. It is worth combining with accessories made of natural materials, such as linen napkins or wooden trays, and displaying in a well-lit space to enhance the subtle reflections of the silvered surface
