About the Item

The antique Art Nouveau German 0.800 silver napkin ring is a stunning and intricately crafted piece of silverware that reflects the elegance and artistic style of the Art Nouveau period. The 0.800 silver hallmark indicates the purity of the silver used, with 800 parts silver to 200 parts of other metals. The napkin ring is adorned with a delightful Art Nouveau design, featuring four blossoms delicately arranged around its circumference. Each blossom is likely to be meticulously handcrafted, showcasing the fine attention to detail characteristic of Art Nouveau craftsmanship. In the center of each blossom, a green glass cabochon is carefully set, providing a burst of color and adding a touch of vibrancy to the overall design. The use of glass cabochons was a popular technique in Art Nouveau jewelry and silverware, and the green color might represent nature and renewal, a common theme in the Art Nouveau movement. The design of the napkin ring is probably organic and flowing, with sinuous lines and natural motifs, which were typical of the Art Nouveau style. This design philosophy aimed to integrate art into everyday objects, resulting in exquisite pieces that combined aesthetics with functionality. The piece is crafted by Gebrüder Kühn, a notable German silverware company known for its fine craftsmanship and Art Nouveau designs. Gebrüder Kühn's work is highly regarded, and their pieces are sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of Art Nouveau silverware. As an antique, this Art Nouveau German silver napkin ring carries a sense of history and nostalgia, evoking the elegance and charm of a bygone era. Its fine craftsmanship and unique design make it a valuable and cherished collector's item, perfect for adding a touch of vintage charm and sophistication to any dining setting. Whether used for its original purpose as a napkin ring or displayed as a decorative object, this antique Art Nouveau German silver napkin ring by Gebrüder Kühn is sure to be an exquisite and treasured addition to any collection or home decor.

This cute antique Art Nouveau figurative toothpick holder by WMF is a delightful representation of the period's artistic sensibilities. Crafted from silver-plated pewter in a material known as "Britannia Metall," this piece exudes a certain charm and whimsy that is characteristic of Art Nouveau design.
