ABOUT PRODUCTID 12428
This early 20th-century Art Nouveau toothpick holder, produced by renowned German manufacturer WMF, exemplifies the refined craftsmanship of the period. The piece consists of two elements: a clear, conical glass insert with a delicately frosted spiral cut, and a silver-plated pewter holder finished in a deep, aged silver tone with natural patina. Distinctive openwork side panels and a central laurel wreath motif reflect Art Nouveau's organic inspiration, complemented by a wide, flared base with radiating ribbed lines. The upper rim features a repeating organic ornament, while the overall form is slender, vertical, and fluid. The smooth surface displays minor scratches and discoloration consistent with age, but there are no signs of repair or damage. The condition is very good—natural patina and subtle traces of time enhance the authenticity of the piece.This small object carries the spirit of Art Nouveau, an era when even utilitarian table accessories achieved the status of art. Flowing lines, openwork lightness, and nature-inspired motifs evoke a time when harmonious form responded to the industrial pace of the early 20th century. Patina and gentle signs of use conjure images of refined salons—the toothpick holder may have witnessed elegant gatherings where every detail mattered and daily ritual intertwined with artistic sensibility.The WMF toothpick holder can be showcased on a living room console, in a display cabinet among silverware, or atop an antique sideboard, emphasizing the dialogue between history and the present. It would suit Art Nouveau-inspired arrangements, collector’s interiors, or classic spaces, where it
