Belle Époque Ormolu-Mounted Loetz-Style Art Glass Centerpiece, circa 1890
A striking Belle Époque centerpiece bowl featuring a vivid green marbled art glass insert in the style of Loetz, dramatically mounted in finely cast ormolu. The luminous green glass displays a deep mottled pattern evocative of Loetz’s celebrated Creta coloration, offering brilliant visual depth and organic texture.
The bowl is cradled in an ornate gilt-bronze framework adorned with scrolling foliate mounts, acanthus swags, and naturalistic griffin-form handles—hallmarks of late 19th-century French taste. The pierced collar encircling the glass rim is crowned with decorative flourishes, while the base rests on a tripod of paw feet joined by garland-draped supports and a raised central platform. The overall effect is one of classical grandeur paired with Art Nouveau fluidity, making this a versatile focal point for display or table centerpiece.
Attributed to a French or Austrian atelier working in the Belle Époque period, circa 1890–1900, this piece exemplifies the high style of the era’s luxury decorative arts.
An elegant and timeless object of distinction—perfect for collectors of Loetz glass, ormolu-mounted décor, or the refined aesthetics of the French Belle Époque.
