Description from the seller

Elegant and intriguing, this rare piece sits at the boundary between decorative object and modernist sculpture.

This centerpiece is distinguished by its large opaline glass bowl, slightly blue-tinged, delicately worked in concentric circles, catching light with a softness almost aquatic.
It rests on a metal base with an architectural design, punctuated by two side arms ending in spheres, evoking a subtle balance between movement, tension and harmony.

The ensemble recalls the aesthetic explorations of the late Art Deco period, where geometry becomes expressive and where every line contributes to a setting.

A piece that does not merely decorate:
it draws the eye, provokes, and asserts a presence.
Ideal as a centerpiece, as a fruit bowl, or as a purely decorative object in a contemporary or collector’s interior.
