Baluster vase - Spelter, Marble

Gold-regule baluster vase on a marble base – Napoleon III style

Small decorative baluster-shaped vase in gilded regule, richly adorned with neoclassical motifs: garlands, ribbons, mascarons and stylized handles.

Resting on a square-veined marble base, itself mounted on small metal feet, the entire piece presents an elegant composition typical of late 19th-century decorative productions.

This type of object is associated with the Napoléon III taste, characterized by decorative eclecticism inspired by the Louis XVI and Empire styles.

Characteristics:

Era: late 19th – early 20th century
Style: Napoléon III / Louis XVI revisited
Materials: gilded regule and marble
Dimensions: 12 x 32 cm
Fine moldwork, delicately chiselled
Antique, unsigned object

Condition:
Good overall condition, with slight wear to the gilding and small signs of age in keeping with the period.

A charming decorative element, representative of the decorative arts of the late 19th century, ideal for a classic or eclectic interior.
