Large tabletop vase in silver-plated pewter, Art Nouveau period. Its baluster form is complemented by two side handles and a defined mouth. The naturalistic decoration of the body centers on a fascinating duality of masks: a woman's face on one side and a bearded man's mask on the opposite.
Henri Jacobs was a highly respected and celebrated Belgian sculptor of the Art Nouveau period.
H. Luppens & Cie was a renowned foundry in Brussels, Belgium, active in the 19th century. They specialized in the manufacture of high quality bronzes ranging from large clock and furniture sets to ceiling and chandeliers.
