AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant WMF table attachment in the Art Deco style!
A genuine collector's item from the golden age of Art Deco: this magnificent table centerpiece by WMF, made around 1930 in Geislingen, impresses with its stylish design language and exquisite craftsmanship. It is marked on the underside with the famous Ostrich mark as well as the designations I/O OX – a sign of the high-quality silver plating.
The four-legged attachment rests on a pressed globe stand and features a round body with four fluted columns supporting the deeply recessed shell. Particularly impressive is the surrounding embossed frieze, which gives the shell texture and depth. Inside, it is elegantly gilded, further emphasizing the contrast with the silver plating.
The ensemble includes a matching glass insert made of colorless glass, decorated with a star-shaped cut pattern. The lower base bears a Swedish engraving: 'To Herman on his 60th birthday 19 7/7 27 from music friends' – a charming detail with a historical note.
Condition: The glass shows a small stress crack as well as some minor chips. Additionally, the object exhibits age-appropriate signs of use that emphasize its authentic vintage character.
Dimensions: height approx. 18.8 cm
A stylish eye-catcher for your table, display case, or collection – with history, character, and charm.
