Silver plated Bunch of carrots vase

Created in 1891 by the Christofle workshops, this vases is characteristic of the naturalist movement, at a time when fauna and flora inspired the creation of objects and works of art, just before Art Nouveau stylized its forms to the extreme.

This vase represents several carrots with astonishing realism, an abundance of detail in the ornamentation and foliage. This vase of 10,5cm in height is made of patinated silver-plated metal, a technique that brings out the reliefs of the decor for a chiseled finish.
