AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Succumb to the timeless charm of the 1930s with this superb Art Deco-era table centerpiece, a master piece of the renowned French art metalwork flourished in copper. Shaped in Villedieu-les-Poêles by the prestigious Lefèvre Frères house (FLH), it perfectly embodies the modernist current of the era. Its dynamic, streamlined silhouette fits just as well in a vintage interior as in a demanding contemporary decor.
A bold design and noble materials
The bowl: A wide, generous red copper basin with a warm, bright patina.
• The handles and base: Two magnificent circular, pierced handles in gilded brass with a geometric design, extended by a hoop that elegantly underscores the lines of the piece.
• The chic detail: An intermediate ring in black wood (rosewood) that creates a striking chromatic contrast, signature of high-end furniture from the modernist period.
Authenticity guaranteed:
The piece is stamped beneath its base with the official cold-stamped coat of arms: the crowned shield “FLH Marque Déposée” accompanied by the inscription “Garanti Villedieu,” a pledge of its provenance and collector’s value.
Of course this grand centerpiece has stood the test of time. It bears the marks and flaws of time, visible in the photos.
