Italian Liberty style Pewter Service Tray

c1900

Anonymous artist, private family collection

34*7.5*3 (cm)

The serving tray was made in Italy from the late 19th to the early 20th century, where the Art Nouveau was known as the liberty Style. Artists used nature as a source of inspiration and visibly stylized it by adding flowers, flames, shells, seaweed, grass silk, insects and other elements can be used to expand its decorative style. The romantic free lines and motifs grow from the rationality of classicism.

The back of the tray is engraved with a capital "L", the name of the previous owner, Lucilla.
