Description :
This elegant Art Nouveau stoppered bottle, dating from the late 19th-century, is a refined example of decorative craftsmanship, combining finely cut crystal with an intricately cast gilt brass mount. The clear, faceted crystal body is beautifully proportioned, capturing and reflecting light with brilliance, and offering a luminous contrast to the richly ornamented gilt surround.
The gilt brass mount is exquisitely detailed with flowing botanical motifs, featuring stylized flowers, sinuous stems, and organic lines characteristic of the Art Nouveau movement. At the center of the composition, a graceful female figure—reminiscent of a nature maiden or nymphis delicately integrated within the design, evoking the poetic and naturalistic spirit of the period. Subtle traces of polychrome enamel enhance the floral elements, adding depth and visual richness.
The piece retains its original crystal stopper and decorative openwork collar. The gilt brass mount is removable, revealing the clarity and quality of the cut crystal beneath.
Likely intended as a small ornamental stoppered bottle, possibly for liqueur or refined table use, this piece perfectly balances functionality and artistic expression.
Please note that there is a small chip to one corner of the crystal body, visible upon close inspection, which does not detract from the overall aesthetic or structural integrity.
A fine and decorative object of the late 19th century, embodying the elegance and artistic refinement of the Art Nouveau period, and making a distinctive addition to any curated interior or collection.
