Pair of Art Nouveau vases from 1900.
Their theme is spring, with a significant focus on lily of the valley in the decoration.
The two cherubs appear to be a boy and a girl.
These vases are made of spelter and have a double patina, in bronze and oxidized bronze, giving them a very beautiful appearance.
They rest on their original griotte marble bases.
They are very sturdy and show no play, especially the angels. No chips or dents to report, except for a small chip on the marble of the vase with the boy (see photo 6), and then one might say that boys are the most mischievous. Fortunately, the chip is on the back side, which conceals it when viewed from the front. The patina shows no wear except at the tips of the big toes. There are few signs of friction, a bit visible on the knees where there are some black marks. But as you can see, all of this remains discreet.
The height is 26.3 cm and the diameter at the base is 10 cm.
Their weight is approximately 1300 grams each. The protection requirements result in a package weighing 5 kg. Therefore, it will be very well protected and insured in France via Chronopost Shop2shop for 15 euros or Colissimo home delivery for 19 euros with insurance.
