AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Large circular piece in molded-press satin glass, with a bold relief iris motif, of a decorative quality quite remarkable. The composition, perfectly mastered, unfolds three flowers broadly in bloom whose waving petals, deeply veined and subtly curled, develop in an elegant swirling motion. Long slender leaves and flexible botanical scrolls extend this spiral rhythm and animate the entire surface with rare breadth.
The decoration, treated with great sensitivity, stands out against a satin background that enhances its softness and depth, while the more luminous reliefs reveal all the finesse of the modeling. The wide circular outline, sober and perfectly balanced, frames this floral composition with considerable elegance and reinforces the monumental presence of the piece.
Through its grandiose format, the richness of its decoration and the visual power of its drawing, this rare piece asserts itself as a showpiece of the first order. A spectacular, refined and highly decorative object, intended for a demanding collection or a grand-character interior.
