This Art Nouveau toothpick holder, produced around 1920 by the Metallwaren-Fabrik Arthur Krupp in Berndorf, Austria, exemplifies the decorative table objects of early modernism. Cast from brass, it is silver-plated on the exterior and gilded on the interior, presenting a cool, matte-satin silver tone with a natural patina and a subtle sheen. The piece features pronounced organic motifs—most notably stylized flower petals with distinct ridges and gentle folds—highlighting its Secessionist character. Its low, elongated proportions (4.3 × 5 × 10 cm) and undulating base edge enhance the sense of movement and lightness. The construction is solid, with precise craftsmanship visible in the casting details and leaf vein-like textures. The underside bears the factory mark with a bear emblem and a dedication to the Hotel Bolmoral Spa, confirming its status
