AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Superb WMF fruit display stand – Sculptural Woman – Albert Mayer
Elegant and refined, this magnificent fruit display signed WMF, after designer Albert Mayer, is a very beautiful decorative piece with Art Nouveau charm.
It depicts a woman with long hair, in a graceful and sensual pose, supporting a wide tray with organic, wavy contours. The sculpture flows harmoniously into the tray, creating a remarkable sculptural ensemble.
Its dark patina with pretty silvery reflections gives it a lot of character and highlights the detailing of the modeling. A collectible piece that will appeal to fans of Art Nouveau objects, German design, and decorative arts.
As decorative as it is functional, this display stand can hold fruits, jewelry, or small objects, or simply be exhibited as a true sculpture.
