Sublime antique brass set consisting of a watering can and a matching lidded container. These pieces bear witness to the elegance of the early 20th century, the 1930s to 1950s era when daily life was elevated by the savoir-faire of Parisian artisans.

The eye-catching detail is the superb frieze of finely chased roses that adorns the spout of the watering can. The natural patina of time offers warm hues that highlight the relief of the floral motifs. The ensemble exudes a timeless elegance imbued with the Art Deco style, characterized by clean lines and meticulous metalwork.

• The watering can bears the mark STAF Société de Travail Artistique du Fer ou Métal, a manufacturer renowned for the quality of its decorative objects.

• The container comes with its original lid, and a very elegant master stamp with the initials BJ and a fleur-de-lis above the inscription Paris. This authentic signature from a Parisian metalwork workshop attests to the high quality of its craftsmanship.

The watering can has a graceful silhouette with its long spout, ideal for delicate indoor plant watering or as a centerpiece in decoration. The container completes this duo in harmony and constitutes a chic storage piece.

→ Characteristics and condition:

• Watering can: 45 cm length x 24 cm height x 9 cm depth,
• Container and lid: 7 cm diameter x 12 cm height,
• Total weight: 638 grams (excluding packaging),
• Early 20th century, Art Deco influence,
• Certified quality: STAF marks and hallmark present on the pieces,
