A small decorative mid‑century wooden bowl with a brass rim in Art Deco style, dating from 1940–1950, made in France from wood with a latón rim, painted by hand with floral motifs across three geometric faces, measures 14 cm wide, 14 cm deep and 8 cm high, in good used condition with minor signs of age.
Description from the seller
This is a decorative mid-20th-century bowl, a small piece but with a lot of personality, made of wood and finished at the top with a brass ring that adds shine, visual weight, and a touch of metallic elegance. The combination of the two materials — the organic warmth of wood and the soft gold of brass — is very typical of artisanal and decorative objects from that period.
The structure is organized on three geometric faces, each hand-painted with almost miniaturist care. On the dark background, delicate floral motifs appear in vivid yet balanced colors: pinks, whites, yellows, greens that intertwine with golden lines. That pictorial style, slightly stylized and ornamental, fits the decorative sensibility of the mid-20th century, when crafts intersected with modernity without losing charm.
The center of the bowl, where the brass is inserted, creates a beautiful contrast: the polished metal reflects light and serves as a focal point, while the painted faces act as a geometric frame that enhances the composition. The result is an object that combines function and ornament, designed both to be used and to be shown off.
Overall, it is a piece that blends craftsmanship, decorative geometry, and color, perfect for an interior with a taste for unique, storied objects.
Shipped with tracking and careful packaging.
