Description from the seller
Antique decorative basin with embossed rural scenes
Italy at the beginning of the 20th century.
Silver-plated metal and decorated composite material body.
Charming antique decorative pitcher, with a historic and highly evocative style, characterized by a body richly modeled in polychrome relief, depicting scenes of rural life and grape harvest.
The central body features a complex narrative composition: peasant figures, grape clusters, vine leaves, and rustic architectures emerge from the surface with a deep and tactile modeling, made even more expressive by the patina of time. The colors, now slightly subdued, retain an authentic charm and tell of a decorative sensibility typical of European production between the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The pitcher is completed by a spout, handle, and base in silvered metal, elegantly shaped.
The handle, slender and richly crafted, features sinuous motifs of late 19th-century style, with a refined balance between functionality and ornament.
The spout, wide and slightly flared, gives the jug an elegant and sculptural line, making it perfectly suitable even as a display piece.
The base, solid and decorated, guarantees stability and harmoniously completes the overall structure.
In style, iconography, and decorative technique, the object is consistent with European production from the early 20th century, a period when decorative objects inspired by rural life, the harvest, and peasant life were highly appreciated, often intended for salons, dining rooms, or bourgeois display cabinets.
It is an object that combines decorative value and storytelling ability, designed more as a piece of furniture and a symbol of representation than as a simple utensil.
Conditions
Good overall condition, with signs of age consistent with the item's age.
Authentic patina on metal and surfaces.
Normal wear and small irregularities consistent with the materials and techniques of the period.
Intact and stable object
Shipping
Extremely precise and professional packaging, suitable for complex decorative objects.
Traceable shipping across Europe
Maximum attention to the protection of the nozzle, handle, and raised parts.
