20th Century Art Nouveau Revival Italian Sterling Silver Vase

About the Item

Sterling silver vase in Art Nouveau - Liberty style made entirely by hand. The preparation of the structure of the vase required several processing times. The vase was made in different parts, base, body, mouth and inserts and subsequently assembled after the embossing and chiselling of the women's faces, flowers and leaves were carried out. This Art Nouveau vase has a particularly refined embossing that allows the harmonious creation of the figures of two young women in the front of the vase and two others in the back, surrounded by leaves and flowers Also note the depth of the embossing that sometimes reaches 5 cm. This artisanal skill was reserved for only a very few embossers. The finish of the vase is satin, burnished and with parts gilded with pure gold Made in the renowned artisan silversmith workshop of the master silversmith Ferrari in Milan - Italy for ARVAL ARGENTI VALENZA.
