About the Item

A finely cast French bronze jug by Lerolle Frères, dating to the late 19th or early 20th century and executed in the Art Nouveau style.

The surface features naturalistic floral and insect motifs, including a prominent dragonfly in flight and clusters of blooming flowers rendered in high relief. The bronze is finished in a deep two-tone patina with gilded highlights and contrasting darkened sections, lending the piece a tactile, dimensional quality. The sinuous handle and irregular mouth further emphasize the flowing, nature-inspired design typical of the Art Nouveau movement.
