Description from the seller
No reserve price!
Vide-poche / Pin dish Art Nouveau in Silverplate – Attributed to WMF, c. 1900. Art Nouveau / Jugendstil.
Germany (Attributed to Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik - WMF).
Small decorative bedside dish (vide-poche) with an angular, lozenge-shaped cut, resting on four integrated spherical feet. The top face features an elaborate high-relief decoration in a style typically of Mucha, depicting the profile of a young maiden with long, wavy, flowing hair that organically blends with the frame of the piece. At the top, the motif of a lotus/water-lily flower in bud stands out.
Numbered on the reverse with the factory catalog number.
Good overall condition, consistent with age and use. Presents a natural patina of the metal, slight oxidation and wear due to time on the base that enhance its antique character. Free of holes or serious structural deformations.
Seller's Story
Antiques are my great passion; all the items I have on auction were found at antique fairs and antique shops mainly from the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal, a country with a centuries-old history and many fabulous pieces and objects from this long journey, which I present here for auction. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original, and obviously beautiful. Guarantee of quality and great care in the shipping of the items. Thank you.
