About the Item

Condition: Original Vintage Condition This French Art Nouveau brass vase from the 1920’s features a beautifully executed repoussé iris motif, embodying the era’s fascination with organic forms and flowing natural lines. The elegant flared silhouette, paired with its scalloped rim, creates a refined and sculptural presence that feels both delicate and grounded. Its warm patinated surface reveals subtle variations, adding depth and authenticity that only time can produce. A timeless decorative accent, this piece effortlessly brings a sense of European craftsmanship and artistry into any interior. Fun Historical Fact The iris was a beloved symbol during the Art Nouveau period, often representing wisdom, hope, and the connection between nature and human emotion. French designers in the early 20th century frequently drew inspiration from Japanese art, where floral subjects like the iris were celebrated for their elegance and asymmetry. Techniques like repoussé metalwork allowed artisans to create intricate, raised designs that gave everyday objects a sculptural, almost painterly quality. These pieces were not just functional—they were meant to elevate the beauty of daily life through art.
