This Empire-style vase from 19th-century France displays a solid, cylindrical structure crafted entirely from metal – most likely cast brass or bronze – and is intended for dried flower arrangements. The primary tone is a deep, aged bronze punctuated with visible traces of gold gilding, while the surface is distinctly matte with natural patina and subtle scratches, indicative of long-standing authenticity. The body features an openwork scheme with repeating Greek key (meander) patterns, forming a harmonious decorative grid. Its form is supported by three pronounced geometric bracket legs ending with small spheres, and vertical, angular handles which reinforce the neoclassical stance of the Empire spirit. Every detail, from hand-wrought contours to the irregular patina, authenticates it as an unaltered object of its period. The piece is preserved in very good original condition: there are no visible signs of modern repair or intervention; only minor marks of use and an uneven, historic patina typical for unrestored antiques.The vase’s voice echoes the grandeur of French Empire design: disciplined geometric meanders and the firm symmetry of the supports compose a narrative of an age that found inspiration in antiquity, celebrating architectural strength and ceremonial dignity. Over years, its surface has acquired a natural patina, softly recounting past gatherings and salon rituals where refinement and boldness defined domestic prestige. Fragile traces of gilding catch the light in brief glints, narrating a subdued chronicle where metal carries the memory of time.This vase would serve as a
