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.
VASE CHUTE DE GLYCINES
The Historic Collections celebrate the audacity
of the Maison’s archives through a contemporary
reinterpretation of the Chute de Glycines vase,
originally created in 1917 and inspired by the
art of dinanderie.
Entirely handcrafted in the Haute Orfèvrerie
workshops in Normandy, this spectacular and
generously sized vase combines a matte brushed
finish on its body with a mirror-polished motif
that shines with radiant reflections. A duality of
textures that enhances the Art Nouveau pattern.
A unique silverwork that employs the techniques
of spinning, chasing, and polishing
Having become famous, Maison Christofle was solicited by foreign sovereigns such as Emperor Maximilian of Mexico, the Tsar of Russia, Germany of the Kaiser, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Sultan Abdulaziz of the Ottoman Empire.
