ABOUT PRODUCTID 3682
This Art Nouveau table gong, produced by Metallwaren-Fabrik Arthur Krupp from Berndorf in the early 20th century, exemplifies the decorative craftsmanship of the era. The construction is based on flowing, asymmetrical lines typical of Art Nouveau—the frame, crafted from brass and silver-plated, features gently organic, undulating curves with a cool, subtly matte silvery surface. The gong disc displays a distinct, radiating hammered pattern that suggests dynamic, almost plant-like texture. The robust, four-legged base and precisely executed joints highlight the object's solidity. The original mallet is included: a dark, polished wooden handle with a round, leather-covered head, showing a patina and light traces of use typical for its age. On the underside, the manufacturer's signature with a bear motif is present. The overall condition is very good, with only minor signs of use and delicate aging, underscoring its authenticity and historical value. This gong speaks to the spirit of the early 20th century—a time when everyday objects became small works of art. Its Art Nouveau lines and hammered disc evoke the atmosphere of European salons, where the sound of the gong marked the beginning of gatherings or special moments. The metallic sheen and nuanced texture recall a fascination with nature and flowing forms, while the silvery surface reflects light like the surface of water at dawn. The gong may be displayed on a console or sideboard in the living room, where its decorative nature becomes a focal point. It will sit comfortably among Art Nouveau period furnishings, yet can also create an intriguing contrast in contemporary minimalist interiors as a singular historical accent. It can be paired with other early 20th-century objects—such as silver frames or art glass—or serve as a distinguished addition to a study or office desk.
