French Art Deco Dinanderie Metalware Vase Signed George
This exquisite French Art Deco dinanderie vase is signed by George and showcases a stunning modernist design. The piece features symmetrical silver bands and a sturdy base set against a copper-bronze background, exemplifying the elegance of the era. Crafted from brass with intricate silver metal inlays, the vase captures the sleek, geometric aesthetics typical of Art Deco design.
The creation of this vase involved the meticulous process of champlevé, where sections of the brass body are carefully cut to accommodate the silver inlays. The two metals are then fused through heat, resulting in a harmonious blend of materials. The term “dinanderie” originates from the Flemish town of Dinant, renowned for its brassware craftsmanship since the Middle Ages, adding historical significance to this exceptional piece. Most likely from Jacques Douau Editions d’Art, Fabrication Francaise.”
