Art Nouveau brass catchall tray

This Art Nouveau brass catchall is moulded into a fluid shape that evokes both the botanical and the elemental. Its gently undulating body is adorned with relief floral details at one end, where daisy-like flowers emerge from the surface with the characteristic movement and asymmetry of the period. The warm patinated brass enhances its sculptural quality, balancing decorative richness with everyday function. Both a tray and an object, it embodies the Art Nouveau sensibility in its most intimate form: naturalistic, tactile, and discreetly theatrical.
