AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant German tray **Art Déco**, made of silver-plated brass and dated to **1935**, as evidenced by the central inscription *“WEIHNACHTEN 1935”* ("Christmas of 1935"), a detail that adds an interesting commemorative and historical character to the piece. Its design fully responds to the aesthetic principles of the **Art Déco** movement, where functionality combines with a refined simplification of forms and a marked preference for geometry.
The tray presents a square format with rounded corners and a sober profile, highlighted by a broad, visually expansive smooth surface that reflects light with elegance. The sides incorporate two sturdy handles of solid wood, whose warm tone harmonizes with the silvered finish of the metallic body. This feature, characteristic of Central European design of the 1920s and 1930s, provides both functionality and an attractive balance between noble materials.
The simplicity of lines, the absence of superfluous ornament, and the emphasis given to proportions make this tray an excellent example of the modern taste prevailing in interwar Germany. Its restrained and elegant aesthetics reflect the influence of rationalist currents and of industrial design of the era, so closely linked to the evolution of European Art Déco.
Beyond its usefulness as a serving tray, the piece has notable decorative and documentary value, especially for preserving the original 1935 inscription, probably related to a corporate gift, family gift, or Christmas commemorative gift. A work of strong personality, suitable for collectors of German decorative arts as well as for those who appreciate the functional and timeless design of the Art Déco period.
Certified shipping and careful packaging.
