Art Nouveau Perfume Set In Pewter And Brass, With Water Lilies, Signed E. Frères

Art Nouveau Pewter and Brass Perfume Set with Water Lilies, Signed E. Frères
A rare Art Nouveau decorative set in pewter and brass, circa 1900, decorated with water lilies, designed as a centerpiece or for diffusing perfumes, signed E. Frères.
The set comprises a sculpted tray in the shape of a water lily leaf, supporting four small receptacles, including a central covered pot.
It features a gently raised floral design, characteristic of the naturalist aesthetic of the late 19th/early 20th century, where the aquatic motif of the water lily plays a major symbolic role.
The containers are made of a finely molded pewter structure, incorporating screw-on gilt brass cups designed to hold perfumed substances.
The covered central pot, the focal point of the composition, reinforces the idea of ​​the piece as a centerpiece or decorative object, inviting contemplation rather than utilitarian use.
Signed E. Frères, this set elegantly illustrates the spirit of Art Nouveau, blending contrasting materials, organic lines, and naturalist inspiration.
