Decorative ornament - France - Wensput Waterput

Waterput / Wensput
1955, Frankrijk
Messing

Offered is this beautiful and strikingly heavy vintage decorative piece in the shape of a traditional wishing well. Where most brass miniatures from this period are small and light, this specimen is a large and robust model of no less than 25 cm high and a substantial weight of 1.6 kg solid brass.

There is a small bucket on a hook. Perhaps not original anymore.
Nice to place a tealight in.

Trench Art

The well features a lovely, detailed, engraved brick motif around the base and a characteristic sloped roof with roof tile relief. The hand-crank mechanism operates smoothly. Over the years the piece has developed a beautiful, authentic patina that contributes to the vintage look.
This unique ambience piece fits perfectly within a Hollywood Regency, mid-century modern, or eclectic interior and is a fantastic collectible for lovers of quality brasswork.
