Ambience of the Middle Ages (silver-plated metal tray) (1961) Design Margit Tevan tarafından

Margit Tevan was born in 1901, Békéscsaba, Hungary. She began her studies in 1921 at the College of Applied Arts (Hungarian Royal National School of Arts and Crafts) in the silversmithing department, and continued her studies as a private student of Richard Zutt and Ferenc Kiss.
She won awards at several international exhibitions and was awarded the diploma of recognition of the Capital City of Budapest. She was also awarded the Diplome d’Honneur at the 1937 Paris World’s Expo. In 1940 she was awarded a Silver Medal at the Milan Triennial, in 1957 the Munkácsy Prize, in 1962 Meritorious Artist. She had the chance to have many exhibitions in Hungary and Czech Republic.
In her early works, she shaped the metal plate plastically with almost sculptural power, renouncing the often self-serving ornamentation of the metalwork of the era. The basis of her approach is to get the way of the beauty of the material itself.
The ornaments of her objects are – mostly – relief-shaped figural motifs (either human or animal figures) which she often applied to her works in the form of separate metal castings. Her decorative motifs and figures provide a special bucolic, naive pastoral charm, sometimes the impression of the Middle Ages to her objects, and their conception was significantly influenced by the concise world of sculpture in Romanticism.
