About the Item
This sterling silver platter by George Shiebler
Co. exemplifies the highly sculptural, organic aesthetics associated with the American Art Nouveau movement. Its form is an elegant hybrid—part round, part square—creating a softly geometric silhouette that distinguishes it from traditional circular serving pieces.
Form
Shape
The platter’s outline blends rounded curves with subtle corner projections, giving it a transitional shape sometimes referred to as “round-square” or “soft square.”
The rim is scalloped, with flowing undulations that echo naturalistic Art Nouveau design principles.
Rim Decoration
Surrounding the edge is a fully sculpted border of raised, blown-out floral forms, a hallmark of Shiebler’s mastery of repoussé and chased silver.
The flowers appear to emerge organically from the metal, with fluid stems, layered petals, and deep relief modeling that casts shadows and gives the rim a sense of motion and vitality.
This ornamental border is lush and expressive, reflecting the Art Nouveau fascination with botanical motifs, asymmetry, and natural movement.
Interior Surface
In contrast to the ornate rim, the center of the platter is smooth, sleek, and unembellished, allowing the reflective silver surface to provide visual calm against the elaborate edge.
The polished interior provides a functional serving area while also creating an intentional stylistic juxtaposition.
Monogram
At the center is a hand-engraved monogram, executed with fine, controlled line work.
The engraving is classic and understated, emphasizing personalization without overpowering the minimalist interior surface.
Artistic Character
The interplay between the lavish floral rim and the serene, mirrorlike center is typical of Shiebler’s refined Art Nouveau silver, where sculptural ornament is balanced by areas of restraint.
The piece demonstrates the firm’s distinctive ability to merge architectural structure with organic ornamentation, creating an object that is both decorative and functional.
Overall Impression
This platter is an excellent example of George Shiebler’s work:
sensuous, stylized, nature-inspired decoration
innovative shaping of flatware and hollowware forms
meticulous craftsmanship in both repoussé relief and engraved detail
The result is a visually striking Art Nouveau serving piece that reveals the sophistication and artistry for which Shiebler silver is celebrated.
