Art Deco Brass Shell Bowl

This Art Deco shell bowl is formed in solid brass, its scalloped surface catching the light with a soft, architectural rhythm. Both sculptural and functional, the shell motif reflects the period’s fascination with nature translated into stylised, symmetrical form.

Produced in Germany circa the 1930s, the piece sits comfortably within the Art Deco tradition, where organic references were refined through geometry and craftsmanship. Its generous scale and substantial weight give it a strong visual presence, whether used as a centrepiece or displayed as a sculptural object.

The brass has developed a warm, time-earned patina, with subtle variations in tone that speak to age and use. A refined yet robust decorative piece.
