ABOUT PRODUCTID 2219
This pair of Art Nouveau vases, dating from around 1900, originates from the former Austro-Hungarian Empire. The vases feature robust, circular brass bases with a matte, aged patina and slender, trumpet-shaped glass inserts. Their bodies are adorned with shallow-relief friezes of stylized floral and geometric motifs, reflecting the Secessionist aesthetic of the era. Each vase is flanked by two vertical handles bearing geometric, almost architectural patterns. The glass is clear and smooth, with gently flared, scalloped rims that offer a delicate contrast to the solid brass. All parts remain original and well-preserved, showing only natural signs of age such as subtle patina and minor wear on the metal, with no visible losses. The presence of these vases brings the spirit of a bygone era into the interior, where form and detail harmonize with material. Brass and glass engage in a subtle dialogue: the cool, smooth transparency of the glass softens the weight and warmth of patinated brass. Their silhouettes embody the restrained energy of Art Nouveau, as if capturing a moment of natural growth in metal and glass. These vases may serve as a standalone accent on a sideboard or console, or be paired with other period objects such as bronze candlesticks or mirrors with similar motifs. They work well against neutral walls, alongside textiles in muted tones and natural textures. Placing them in daylight or near soft, diffused lighting will highlight the gentle sheen of brass and the clarity of the glass. Arranging them with single branches or flowers of simple form will maintain a balance between the decorative nature and the functional aspect of the object.
