Zeldzame en grote Art Nouveau / Jugendstil schaal (Model 211) – OSIRIS - Jardinière - Gilded brass / Tin alloy (gold-patinated / gilded) - , Nuremberg (c. 1900)

Magnificent, authentic and monumental Art Nouveau centerpiece/vide-poche produced by the world-renowned metalware factory OSIRIS of Nuremberg (Walter Scherf & Co.), dating from the heyday of German Jugendstil (circa 1900–1902).
The bowl has a generous length of 31 cm and features a stunning organic relief design of stylized leaves and fruit/buds in the iconic whiplash style. The organically shaped handles flow elegantly into the bowl’s undulating edges. On the underside, the bowl rests on subtly cast supports, making the object appear to float lightly above the table.
Exactly in the center of the underside is the original factory mark, crisply stamped in its characteristic shield shape: OSIRIS, with model number 211 below.
An outstanding, highly collectible piece for admirers of fine European Jugendstil and Art Nouveau design.
