About the Item

This Art Nouveau French biscuit box is a striking example of the elegance and craftsmanship characteristic of the Art Nouveau movement. The biscuit box typically features a metal base and frame made of silver-plated metal, with intricate, flowing designs inspired by natural forms. The metalwork showcases the fluid lines and organic shapes that define the Art Nouveau style. The art glass component of the biscuit box is equally remarkable. The glass is hand-blown and exhibits a range of colors with a delicate iridescence effect. The glass is adorned with elaborate floral motifs that complement the ornate metal frame. The lid of the biscuit box has a metal handle decorated with sculptural elements. Inside, the box is spacious enough to hold an assortment of biscuits or other small treats, making it both a functional and decorative piece with exquisite design and craftsmanship.
