Condition:

For restoration. One ewer is structurally stable with moderate surface corrosion and verdigris. The second ewer requires restoration: the angel’s hand is completely disconnected from the spout rim, and the base is wobbly and needs stabilization. Both show surface aging, patina, and oxidation consistent with age. Please view all photos for a detailed look at the structural issues.

Description:

Offering a stunning, highly ornate pair of antique French-style decorative ewers standing approximately 21 inches tall. These pieces feature a beautiful Neo-Classical / Art Nouveau design with winged angels gracefully forming the handles, leaning over detailed, flared spouts. The bodies and heavily footed bases are covered in intricate embossed scrolling patterns, floral motifs, and beaded trim.

Please note that this pair is being sold as-found for restoration or repair.

Detailed Condition Breakdown:

Ewer 1: Structurally stable and sound. Shows surface patina, scattered verdigris, and minor oxidation from age.

Ewer 2: Requires repair. The angel's hand has detached where it meets the top rim of the spout. Additionally, the body wobbles slightly on its footed base and needs to be tightened or stabilized.
