Description from the seller
Old French decorative vase, presumably from the early 20th century, made in ivory-colored opaline glass and featuring a rich, hand-painted floral autumn decoration.
This antique vase is distinguished by its graceful baluster shape on a raised circular foot and the refined painting with large pink and white flowers, surrounded by delicate leaves and botanical motifs in warm autumn tones.
The combination of soft ivory white, old rose, olive green, copper brown and subtle gold accents gives this object a particularly romantic and nostalgic appearance. The characteristic reddish-brown neck rim forms an elegant finish.
The design shows influences of the late Romantic style and Art Nouveau, with attention to natural forms and floral ornamentation.
A atmospherically classic decorative statement piece, beautiful as an independent art object on a console, in a display cabinet or as a focal point in a classic, French country or eclectic interior.
