Argit - Argental - Dish (2) - Silverplated - Art Deco

Elegant silver-plated metal serving pieces, representative of the Art Deco style, with a sober, geometric décor typical of the 1920s-1930s.

These two pieces are distinguished by their clean lines, stylized side handles, and beaded and grooved motifs, characteristic of the Art Deco aesthetic.

There is 1 tray with the hallmark ARGIT and a numbered mark, attesting to an older, quality manufacture.

Oval serving tray with handles: approximately 37 cm long
32 cm in diameter without the handles, about 628 g

Overall good condition for the age.

Note:

micro-scratches from use visible
slight traces of oxidation
