A pewter vase, repoussé and chased, in the Art Nouveau style, attributed to Lucien Houzeaux, a decorator active in the early 20th century, known for his nature-inspired metalwork.

The body is decorated with an elaborate high-relief floral motif, depicting a blooming rose surrounded by foliage, rendered with finesse and depth.
The decor is complemented by stylized geometric friezes, characteristic of the Art Nouveau aesthetic.
