AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
No reserve price!
Rare Art Nouveau/Jugendstil Desk Triptych (c. 1900), Transition from the 19th to the 20th Century (Belle Époque).
General Description: Magnificent and unusual triple desk frame (triptych) original from the Art Nouveau era (circa 1900). The cast bronze or brass structure features three unified vertical panels, framed by a dynamic and pierced design filled with whiplash lines, organic arabesques, and a stylized botanical crest at the top. A highly decorative piece that encapsulates the turn-of-the-century obsession with fusing domestic utility with the organic forms of nature.
In good original vintage condition, with no structural restorations. It displays a dark and authentic patina accumulated over more than a century, which testifies to its age and which auction purists prefer to see untouched. It shows a break at the top between two "frames" noted in the photos; it is something easily remedied and in no way affects the frame’s structure.
Seller's Story
Antiques are my great passion; all the items I have on auction were found at antique fairs and antique shops mainly from the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal, a country with a centuries-old history and many fabulous pieces and objects from this long journey, which I present here for auction. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original, and obviously beautiful. Guarantee of quality and great care in the shipping of the items. Thank you.
