AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
These golden brass amphorae, probably from the early 20th century, stand out for their classic elegance and detailed craftsmanship. The elongated and narrow body, which tapers towards a rounded base, recalls the shapes of Greco-Roman amphorae, reinterpreted with the decorative taste of the period.
The handles feature a heart-shaped design adorned with floral motifs, suggesting an influence of late Art Nouveau, a style that sought to incorporate natural elements into everyday objects. Just below the upper edge, a decorative relief band displays patterns that could be floral or animal motifs, typical of the repoussé and casting techniques used in that period.
The visible wear on one of the pieces, where the gilding has given way to the base material, adds authenticity and character, revealing its age. These amphorae not only served as decorative elements in refined interiors but also reflect the taste for ornamental and classical styles that prevailed in bourgeois homes of the era.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
