AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
For sale here as well as our family heritage, an exquisite, matching pair of antique Art Nouveau vases (pendants) from the glassworks of François-Théodore Legras (Saint-Denis, France, period ca. 1900–1910). It is the Beaugency model in a rare, splendid color variant.
The vases captivate with their red-marbled opaline glass imitation (Clutha glass style), where the organic nuances in the glass flow elegantly into one another. The upper part and the neck are adorned with a surrounding, hand-painted gold enamel decoration in the form of typical Art Nouveau volutes and geometrico-floral ornaments.
Notably, the excellently preserved original signature “Leg.” (abbreviation for Legras) in gold enamel on the base of both vases.
