Early 20th Century Ets. Jules Liblin Luxeuil Bronze Dish - Decorative Mice Motif A charming and finely cast bronze dish from the early 20th century, designed and produced by the renowned French foundry Ets. Jules Liblin in Luxeuil. This small decorative tray features an exquisite relief composition with playful mice and botanical elements, making it a delightful collector's piece. Crafted in solid bronze, the dish exhibits a warm aged patina that enhances the finely textured radial background. Three small sculpted mice appear to scurry across the surface, adding a whimsical touch to the otherwise symmetrical design. The perimeter is bordered with a rope-like pattern, and one corner is raised to mimic a curled leaf, showcasing the artistry of French bronze craftsmanship. The piece is clearly marked on the reverse with "Ets. Jules Liblin - Luxeuil," confirming its origin and authenticity. Liblin was known for his high-quality foundry work during the Art Nouveau and early Art Deco periods, and this piece is an excellent example of his studio's attention to detail and playful naturalist themes.
