About the Item

A superb example of Art Nouveau bronze work by the renowned sculptor Charles Korschann, this beautifully crafted gilt bronze centerpiece/tray captures the essence of turn-of-the-century elegance and naturalism. Made in Paris in the early 20th century, the piece reflects Korschann’s celebrated talent for expressive figural forms and decorative refinement. Cast in warm gilt bronze, the centerpiece features a flowing oval form with integrated side handles, framed by an exquisite high-relief sculptural scene of reclining female figures gracefully posed in a naturalistic setting. The draped garments, flowing hair, and serene expressions are signature elements of the Art Nouveau style, harmonizing human form with organic lines. The textured ground evokes the look of grass or garden earth, adding depth and dimension to the design. The piece is signed “Korschann, Paris”, affirming its authenticity and origin. Both decorative and functional, it may be used as a tray, centerpiece, or sculptural accent on a console, table, or sideboard. Its warm golden patina and timeless silhouette make it a versatile addition to both classic and modern interiors. It measures Approximately 17" L x 11.5" W x 2" H . Excellent antique condition with minor wear consistent with age. No damage or repairs.
