ABOUT PRODUCTID 3775
This Napoleon III style vase was produced by the French Baccarat manufactory between 1890 and 1910 and is crafted from layered glass in a cylindrical form. The dominant deep, warm red hue with a polished, smooth surface is framed by wide, raised friezes at the top and bottom edges. The 24-carat gold decoration, featuring arabesque motifs and laurel wreaths, combines matte and glossy finishes, referencing neoclassical influences of the era. The gold ornamentation is embossed, lending a tactile, three-dimensional quality. The vase’s proportions are harmonious, with precise craftsmanship evident in the seamless execution and excellent condition. The vase carries the atmosphere of late 19th- and early 20th-century French craftsmanship—telling a story of intricate detail and technical mastery, where light plays across the red glass and golden reliefs. Its form and ornamentation evoke interiors where decoration engaged in dialogue with tradition, each texture and shade contributing to the object’s narrative. The tactile contrast between the smooth glass and raised gold friezes creates a subtle interplay beneath the fingertips. The vase can be displayed on a console or shelf as a standalone color accent. It works well among dark, classic furniture or paired with clear glass and warm wood tones. Combining it with textiles in muted hues will enhance the depth of the red and the brilliance of the gold. Directional lighting will emphasize the three-dimensionality of the ornamentation and the intensity of the colors, while simple ceramic or marble elements can add a textural counterpoint to the composition.
