Michel Karis

Small Art Nouveau Gilded Spelter Tray – signed A. Dahl – Pinecone Design (c. 1900) :

Elegant decorative tray in Art Nouveau style, signed A. Dahl, featuring a naturalistic design of pinecones and stylised needles in relief, typical of the ornamental vocabulary of the period.

Material: gilded spelter, copper-toned patina

Design: naturalistic relief composition (pinecones and pine needles)

Dimensions: 27 × 11 × 1 cm
Weight: 606 g

Signature: “A. Dahl” in relief, visible on the surface
Condition: good overall condition with a homogeneous patina; light wear consistent with age; reverse with raw foundry finish.

This piece reflects the late 19th–early 20th century aesthetic, when Art Nouveau elevated everyday utilitarian objects into true decorative artworks. Perfect as a vide-poche, presentation tray, or collector’s item.

About the artist:
The signature “A. Dahl” appears on several decorative objects from the Art Nouveau period (trays, spelter or bronze works). Although not well documented in major art references, this name is associated with decorative productions circulating in Europe around 1900, embodying the Art Nouveau fascination with stylised nature.

Period: Art Nouveau, circa 1900–1915
Provenance: Europe (probably France or Germany)

Petit plateau Art nouveau en régule doré – signé A. Dahl – décor de pommes de pin (vers 1900):

Élégant plateau décoratif de style Art nouveau, signé A. Dahl, représentant un décor naturaliste de pommes de pin et d’aiguilles stylisées en relief, typiques du vocabulaire ornemental de cette période.

Matériau : régule doré, patine cuivrée
Décor : composition naturaliste en relief (pommes de pin et aiguilles de pin)
Dimensions : 27 × 11 × 1 cm
Poids : 606 g
Signature : « A. Dahl » en relief, visible sur la face
État : bon état général, patine homogène, usure légère et cohérente avec l’ancienneté, revers brut de fonderie.

Ce type de pièce reflète l’esthétique de la fin du XIXᵉ et du début du XXᵉ siècle, lorsque l’Art nouveau a sublimé l’objet utilitaire en véritable œuvre décorative. Idéal comme vide-poche, plateau de présentation ou pièce de collection.

À propos de l’artiste :

La signature « A. Dahl » se retrouve sur plusieurs objets décoratifs de la période Art nouveau (plateaux, sujets en régule ou bronze). Bien que peu documenté dans les grandes références artistiques, ce nom est associé à des productions diffusées en Europe vers 1900, témoignant du goût de l’époque pour la nature stylisée.

Époque : Art nouveau, circa 1900–1915
Provenance : Europe (probablement France ou Allemagne)
