Large, ornate Art Nouveau-style vase. France, ca. 1900.
Copper and brass, on a circular green marble base.
Exhibits wear consistent with age and use on the finishes.
Measurements: 84 x 45 x 30 cm.

With an ovoid body and pronounced verticality, the vase is structured by a brass frame that runs along the neck, the handles, and the lower section. The undulating contours, floral motifs, and organic forms of the frame reflect the decorative language of Art Nouveau.

On the front, a relief medallion stands out, depicting several putti in playful poses, framed by stylized leaves and flowers. The hallmarks of warm copper, golden brass reflections, and dark marble base reinforce the piece’s monumental and sumptuous character.
