Tray Tray
This is a tray. It was designed by Peter Behrens. It is dated 1900–1910 and we acquired it in 2013. Its medium is pewter, walnut. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
Architect Peter Behrens, who showed his interest early on in the Gesamtkunstwerk idea of a total look through design, developed lines of furniture, glassware and ceramics for the Wertheim Department store. He was also interested in the juxtaposition of different materials in a single object, such as the combination of pewter and wood in this tray. This tray's materials and decoration demonstrate the crafts tradition blended with Jugenstil ("Youth Style") elements.
