Ornament c. 1904 - 1919

This anonymous design, likely created between 1904 and 1919, showcases a simplified and stylized floral motif. The piece features a prominent, elongated central element, reminiscent of a stem or bud, flanked by two symmetrical, leaf-like forms. This motif could be a decorative element for an object like a book cover, a textile design, or an architectural detail, reflecting the widespread use of decorative art in the early 20th century. The bold lines and graphic style reflect the prevailing aesthetic trends of the era, demonstrating a clear connection to the Art Nouveau movement.
