Description from the seller
Antique Royal Bonn Wash Set – Franz Anton Mehlem (Art Nouveau, ca. 1900)
Description:
Beautiful antique wash set (basin and water jug) by the well-known German manufacturer Franz Anton Mehlem of Bonn. The set bears the original “Royal Bonn” tower mark and dates from the Art Nouveau / Jugendstil period (circa 1890–1910).
The set features elegant relief work and is decorated in soft pastel colors (green and yellow) with subtle pink floral motifs. It creates a lovely atmosphere in a country-style, brocante, or vintage interior!
Dimensions:
• Water jug height: approx. 25.5 cm
• Basin diameter: approx. 40 cm
Condition:
The set shows clear signs of age, consistent with its age. The inside of the basin has discoloration and characteristic crazing in the glaze. The jug has a visible crack near the spout (see photos). Due to these charming imperfections, the set is best suited as a decorative object, for example with (dried) flowers.
Collection preferred due to the fragility of the material.
