Fruit bowl - 1910s Jugendstil 39x25cm - Brass

Jugendstil Grape Leaf Dish – Solid Cast Brass – ca. 1910s – In excellent condition – No reserve. A striking original Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) cast-brass dish, made in Germany circa the 1910s. Designed in the naturalistic Weinrebe / Weinlaub tradition, the bowl is sculpted in the form of layered grape leaves and flowing vine tendrils — a classic symbol of hospitality, abundance and craftsmanship from the height of the Jugendstil movement. Unlike pressed or stamped examples, this piece is solid cast brass, hand-finished after casting, giving it a sculptural depth and beautifully organic rimline. The surface shows finely modelled leaf veining and deliberately pierced negative spaces, enhancing the play of light and shadow — typical of high-quality German decorative metalwork from this period. The dish carries a warm, golden brass patina with minor age-related traces of use, fully in line with its 110+ year history, and remains in structurally excellent condition. Polished and waxed for a lasting golden shine. Dimensions & Weight: Approx. 39 x 25 x 6 cm (h x w x d) Weight: approx. 1.35 kg Condition: In excellent, structurally sound and display-ready condition No cracks, splits or repairs Shipping & Handling: Professional, shock-safe packaging Next-day dispatch after payment Registered and insured shipping
