About the Item
This French Art Nouveau patinated bronze planter, "Chrysalide" (Chrisalis), by Paul-François Berthoud, features the head of a woman emerging from foliage. Cast in deep releif, the female form, who emerges forcefully from the two sweeps of foliage that crown her, has a countenance of blissful nonchalance, her peaceful expression, eyes closed in repose, counters the extremity of the swirling and agitated movement of her hair. The apex of her crown is a folded over bloom, which meets her forehead so gently she seems unaware of its presence.

By Hector Guimard
Located in New York, NY
An ocean of sinuous, sweeping lines frozen in motion, this large-scale ceramic Art Nouveau planter by Hector Guimard (executed by Gilardoni et Brault, Choisy-le-Roi), demonstrates in an arresting array of earthen greenish and purplish hues, and is sensational from every angle.
