Beautiful tray, typical of Art Nouveau, with its undulating forms and prominent botanical inspiration.
-
Period: probably between 1900 and 1915.
-
Style: Art Nouveau, recognizable here by the fluid curves of the wood, the asymmetrical handles, and the naturalistic motif in the center.
-
The central decoration is hand-painted on glass, a common technique in decorative arts of the period (often used for serving trays, smoker's trays, or tea trays).
-
The light varnished wood, gently curved at the edges, reinforces this impression of delicacy typical of the style.
📏 Interesting details
-
The handles carved directly into the wood are elegant, with a certain modernity in their cut.
-
The framing of the fruit and foliage with a sinuous frieze is entirely in the spirit of the "whiplash line" dear to Art Nouveau.
-
Plums on a gold background, symbols of abundance, were often depicted in table arts during this period.
- Dimensions: length 44 cm, width 26 cm, height 5 cm, weight 1.161 kg.
- Condition: very good: good condition of the glass (no scratches or chips) and integrity of the wooden frame (screwing, solidity of the handles),
