Vaso (2) - Spelter

A pair of heavy decorative Renaissance-Revival ewers, cast in solid metal with richly modelled relief scenes. Each ewer features a classical mythological motif, including a clearly defined centaur — half man and half horse — shown in high relief among scrolling foliage, grotesque masks and ornamental forms typical of 19th-century historicist design. The handles rise in elegant acanthus curves, and the bases are finished with lobed and rope-twist patterns, giving the pair an impressive sculptural presence. Both ewers retain a deep, aged patina and show the honest wear expected of older spelter pieces, including rubbing on raised areas and small surface imperfections. A visible vertical line on each ewer is an original casting seam, a standard feature of 19th-century two-part mould production and not a crack or later damage. The metal is dense and substantial, which explains their notable weight, and the relief work remains crisp and expressive. The pair displays beautifully as decorative objects and has strong visual impact. Based on the style, casting method, weight and patina, the pair can be confidently attributed to the late 19th century, most likely circa 1880–1900. The deep relief decoration, classical motifs, heavy spelter construction and visible mould seams are all characteristic of continental decorative metalwork from this period. While the pieces are unsigned, all features align with 19th-century production. The ewers will be securely packaged and shipped with tracking and insurance.
