Antique Art Nouveau Crumb Sweeper Set with Salamander – Jugendstil ca. 1900

A distinctive Art Nouveau crumb sweeper set from the early 20th century.

This set consists of a pressed metal dustpan and a matching hand brush, both richly decorated with an ornate salamander in relief. The organic lines, the subtle curved shape of the dustpan, and the nature motif are typical of the Art Nouveau period around 1900.

The dark patina with gilded accents gives the set a warm, lived-in appearance. The brush features natural bristles and a matching metal back with an identical decor.

A functional object from a time when even household items were aesthetically designed.
