Vide poche - France - after WMF

Art Nouveau Style Vide-Poche / Decorative Tray - High Quality Pewter (92% Tin) - After WMF A beautiful Art Nouveau style decorative tray (vide-poche) featuring a graceful relief of a maiden playing a harp. The design is a classic example of the "Jugendstil" aesthetic, characterized by flowing, organic lines, floral motifs, and the idealized female form. The woman’s gown and hair flow seamlessly into the asymmetrical rim of the tray, creating a dynamic "whiplash" effect typical of the period around 1900. This specific piece is a high-quality vintage casting made from "Étain" (French/Belgian pewter). Unlike older pewter which often contained lead, this tray is hallmarked "92% TIN", ensuring it is lead-free and has a bright, silver-like luster. Period: Mid-20th Century production after a 1900 design. Material: High-quality Pewter (92% Tin / Etain). Motif: Muse with Harp / Lyre. Markings: Stamped "ETAIN 92% TIN" on the reverse. Features: Includes an integrated hanging loop for wall display. In excellent condition with minor signs of wear and a beautiful natural patina. Please see photos for details, they are part of the description. Secured shipping with tracking code.
