Art Nouveau fireplace bouquet holder Saint-Clément

Elegant flower holder for a fireplace in French faience, attributed to the Saint-Clément factory, dating from the late 19th or very early 20th century. This rare piece combines a hand-painted faience flower cone with a scalloped tray that can also serve as a catch-all or ring holder. The naturalistic decoration features a heron among reeds, accompanied by flowers and dragonflies, typical of French Art Nouveau production. The cone is mounted on an elegant gilded metal base that highlights the delicacy of the silhouette. Very decorative on a fireplace, console, or dressing table, this object will appeal to both Art Nouveau enthusiasts and collectors of French faience.
