Monumental antique art nouveau Greco-Roman repousse copper and brass vase or urn dated 22-1-1915. Scenes of Bacchanalian revelries with half naked dancers and musicians on the copper body panel; some playing a lyre, flute, piccolo or lute. The feet and the top and handle are fashioned from brass. The very art nouveau handles are silvered which suggests that at one time perhaps the entire piece was. What I believe to be Greek writing appears just below the neck from handle to handle and that is where you find the date. Tall enough to be floor vase and/or a fantastic table statement piece with magnificent flower arrangement. Courier shipping includes tracking and insurance - for this large and heavy piece.
CONDITION: Excellent antique condition with great patina and no damage or repairs. I have NOT attempted to clean this piece. It is in the original condition I acquired it in. I will not be cleaning or polishing. I like it the way it is and leave that to the taste of the new owner. The great patina comes with some darkening in the grooves, some remnants of silver perhaps and other coloration & a little oxidization spots.
SIZE APPROX: 28 inches tall (over 72 cm) x 11 inches wide and 8 inches deep

Andrea, your store is a wonderful treasure trove and your knowledge and class are of a scholarly collector.
I am a university research professor with an eye for detail. I have never seen any vendor with your level of exquisite scholarship. Just like your fine objets d'art, your descriptions are crafted with masterful finesse; it is such a pleasure reading them and it is also a great learning experience. Thanks again! Patrick

Downsizing was inevitable and I've done it several times already. This is the big one, and I am still unboxing treasures retrieved from storage after decades.
All pieces are one of a kind handpicked by yours truly over 40 years to add texture, style and story to your authentic style.
My collecting story starts after watching Astaire and Rogers float across a dance floor as a young girl, I have loved art deco design, art, fashion and jewelry. So bold and beautiful, and so different from anything that came before it. Art deco changed social and design sensibilities forever. A lifetime collector of high quality antiques and vintage, I started by making contacts, researching and learning. Picking the best of the best, I live with art deco and vintage decor and used to wear the fashions of the day. To say that I feel in love is an understatement. I reveled in the fact that I was able to reflect my unique style and sensibilities with a marriage of old and new.
Since I was in my teens I have bought what pleases me, what I find beautiful and unique, and the things that speak to me on a creative level. I hope that you can see and feel the passion and love that I feel for antiques and vintage pieces and share with you. You will find art deco, collectible and vintage fine art paintings, original illustrations and magazine covers, home decor, marble, alabaster and metal lamps, nude flapper table lamps, sterling silver decorative accents and tableware for the home and entertaining, designer and estate jewelry and fine vintage watches in my shop.
