1920s French Art Nouveau Silvered Metal Vide-Poche Reclining Woman

About the Item

1920s French Art Nouveau Silvered Metal Vide-Poche – Reclining Woman with Draped Folds & Botanical Lines Description: This exquisite Art Nouveau vide-poche, likely crafted in France in the 1920s, is a sculptural masterpiece in silvered metal, embodying the grace and fluidity of the era. At the center of the composition lies a reclining woman, wrapped in elegantly draped fabrics, surrounded by botanical lines and flowing forms that are emblematic of the Art Nouveau aesthetic. The attention to detail in the plissé textures, vegetal motifs, and the natural curves of the female figure make this piece a true work of decorative art—as functional as it is captivating. Key features include: Art Nouveau Mastery: Rich in organic lines, movement, and symbolism, this piece reflects the essence of Art Nouveau elegance, merging the human form with nature. Sculpted Reclining Woman: The female figure is rendered with great sensitivity and detail, lying gracefully across softly undulating folds, creating a scene of serenity and timeless beauty. Silvered Metal Finish: Crafted in silver-toned metal, the surface radiates a gentle patina that enhances its vintage charm and highlights the sculptural relief. Functional & Decorative: Ideal for use as a vide-poche on a console or entryway table, but equally powerful when displayed as a standalone decorative object or collectible Art Nouveau piece. French 1920s Craftsmanship: Likely produced in France, this piece echoes the sensual refinement and naturalism that characterized the movement during its late period. Rich Symbolism & Movement: The design integrates foliage, flowing fabrics, and feminine curves into a unified, dynamic whole—perfect for collectors of early 20th-century decorative arts. This 1920s French Art Nouveau vide-poche is more than an accessory—it is a sculpted homage to beauty, nature, and craftsmanship, offering functionality wrapped in poetic design.
