Description from the seller

Pair of Early 20th Century French Brass Ewers – Elegant Engraved Decoration

A refined pair of French brass ewers, showcasing a graceful silhouette and delicate engraved ornamentation. These decorative vessels embody timeless elegance and are ideal for enhancing both classic and eclectic interiors.

Each piece features a slender, elongated neck with a flared spout and a finely curved handle, creating a balanced and harmonious profile. The surface is adorned with subtle hand-engraved patterns, forming stylized floral and geometric motifs that catch the light beautifully. The warm golden patina of the brass adds depth and character, emphasizing the craftsmanship and age of the set.

Originating from France, circa early 20th century, these ewers reflect traditional metalworking techniques and decorative sensibilities of the period. Crafted entirely from brass, they combine durability with an elegant aesthetic, suitable for display as decorative objects or as part of a curated collection.

Dimensions (each): 25.2 cm x 9 cm x 7 cm (9.92 in x 3.54 in x 2.76 in).

Condition is overall good with visible signs of age and use, including light surface wear and patina. One ewer presents a fissure at the base; however, this remains discreet and stable, with a small pad applied underneath to correct slight irregularity—completely invisible when displayed.

A charming and collectible pair, appealing to enthusiasts of French decorative arts and antique brassware.
