Art Nouveau Copper Dustpan with Dragonfly & Water Lilies — Antique Home Decor from Austria

A dragonfly, forever in flight over still water - this is how this Art Nouveau hammered copper dish greets you. Water lilies and cattails frame the gleaming surface on the curved handle rim. What once served as a table crumb catcher is now a small piece of craftsmanship history.

Behind the piece

• Hand-hammered copper (repoussé technique)
• Art Nouveau style, circa 1900-1920
• Dimensions: 19 cm long, 14 cm deep

How it lives on
Its crumb-catching days are long behind it. Today, it collects keys and rings on the dresser, paper clips and thoughts on the desk, or becomes a small relief on the wall. A favorite for anyone who appreciates Art Nouveau, nature motifs, and honest signs of age.

Where it comes from
Found at a flea market in Waidhofen an der Thaya, in the middle of the Waldviertel. A unique piece over a hundred years old - price is for one piece.
