Cafetière sterling silver, style directoire, Altenloh Brussels
Pair of door fittings - silver-plated brass - 1910-1925
Stylistic elements:
The door fittings made of silver-plated brass, feature a finely crafted, relief design with vertical divisions and stylized volutes at the ends.
The combination of clean lines and ornamental detailing is typical of the transitional period between late Art Nouveau and early Art Deco.
The precise craftsmanship suggests small-scale workshop production, common in France and Belgium in the early 20th century.
