About the Item

Rare early 20th century scandinavian piece in metal in the form of a compote bowl. This work attributed to Paavo Tynell early career as a skilled black smidth. While Tynell is most famous for his work with brass and copper, his early career saw him experimenting with various metals, including iron and steel. These experiments helped him develop a deep understanding of different materials and their properties. Tynell's early works often bore the influence of the Art Nouveau movement, which was prevalent during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This influence can be seen in the sinuous lines, organic forms, and floral motifs that characterized some of his early pieces. Created from continues metal wire that leaves an elegant and artistic siluet like a drawing in space. Its wide, shallow shape is ideal for serving fruits or sweets, while its elegant silhouette adds a touch of sophistication to any table setting. The openwork base of the bowl, featuring delicate patterns, allows light to play with shadows, creating a captivating visual effect.
