Antique Victorian epergne vase on cast ormolu gilded metal base.
I cannot say where it comes from, looks French, but I bought this at the auction in mixed lot where there was lots of Belgium high end glass of the same period, so it could well be from Belgium.
The heavy base balances the cone-shape vase well, lovely Art Nouveau base and original vase.
- Measures: height 27cm, diameter on the top is 10,7cm, height of the metal base is 13,5cm, diameter underneath is 6,7cm
- Condition: one big and one smaller chip to the rim, patina (which is really not damage, just shows the age) to the base, see these flaws on the last pictures. No restoration.
