Description from the seller
Centerpiece in Liberty style with a female figure and two cups in white and green glass
Decorative figurative centerpiece in patinated metal and glass, in Liberty / Art Nouveau taste, with an estimated dating between the late 19th and early 20th century, approximately 1890–1915. Manufacture not identified.

Two curved side arms, decorated with leaves and scrolls, support two glass cups. These feature wavy edges in bright green and a characteristic whitish-work, with a visual effect resembling ice, creating a contrast with the dark tone of the metal structure.
The top is equipped with a hollow, pierced element with vegetal motifs, possibly for use as a candlestick holder.
