A magnificent and intricately sculpted bronze jug, an antique piece that embodies the flowing, naturalistic style of Art Nouveau (or Italian Liberty), dating from the late 19th to early 20th centuries.
Design and Subject: The jug features an organic, asymmetrical shape, with relief decorations that blend into the structure itself. The theme is inspired by mythology and nature: the central body depicts cherubs (or nymphs) amidst the waves, seaweed, and sea creatures. The jug's distinctive handles are formed by cherub figures clinging to the rim.
Material: Crafted from cast bronze with a rich dark and gold patina, enhancing its detail and antiquity.
Style: The fluidity of the lines, the celebration of the human figure, and the integration of natural elements (such as waves) are distinctive features of Art Nouveau.
Ideal for collectors of bronze sculptures, Art Nouveau objets d'art, or for decorating classical and period settings.
