About the Item

A striking pair of Austrian Secessionist vide-poche bowls, finely cast in solid brass and entirely hand-worked, dating to the early 20th century. These sculptural objects are modeled as stylized shells, their dynamic spiral forms and deeply ribbed surfaces reflecting the naturalistic yet disciplined language typical of the Vienna Secession. The brass presents a beautifully aged patina, developed organically over time, with warm golden highlights and darker tonal variations that emphasize the depth of the relief and the sculptural quality of the forms. Each bowl rests on small spherical feet, lifting the silhouette and enhancing their presence as functional yet highly decorative objects. Substantial in weight and execution, these pieces were conceived as luxurious desk or console accessories—perfect as vide-poche, catchalls, or purely decorative accents. They bring an unmistakable early modern European elegance and pair effortlessly with both classic and contemporary interiors.
