{"product_id":"victorian-revival-brass-fan-vase","title":"Victorian Revival Brass Fan Vase","description":"This cast brass fan vase draws on the European tradition of ribbon-and-foliate ornament, combining a formal bow and garlanded pedestal with freely scrolling foliage. Ribbon bows and swags were established features of French Louis XVI decoration; their appearance here gives the vase a classical character.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe workmanship is particularly appealing in the transition from the solid, relief-decorated body to the pierced crest. Casting gives the ornament its depth, while the openwork allows each curling stem to remain distinct. The broad fan and compact pedestal create a beautifully balanced piece, with contrasting bright edges and darker recesses bringing out the detail. It is offered as a vintage vase in the Victorian revival taste; its precise maker and production date remain unverified.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecs\u003cbr\u003eDate: circa 1970–1990 (estimated).\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: brass.\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Victorian revival.\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 9\" H × 8\" W.\u003cbr\u003eBase: 3\" W × 3\" D (depth estimated).\u003cbr\u003eOpening: 1½\" front to back.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition\u003cbr\u003eVery good vintage condition.
