Small Art Nouveau Period Tray In Copper-plated Pewter, Women In The Taste Of Georges Flamand.

Two superb profiles of young women, their hands intertwined, in ecstasy in front of an antique bottle...: perfume? ointment? liqueur?...or Genius to come?...
Was this object a luxurious advertising support...?
We don't really know, but this pretty tray or trinket, in copper-plated pewter, recreates the voluptuousness of the flower women of Art Nouveau wonderfully, avoiding the sentimentality of the features... The carving of the faces, the hair, the shoulders is particularly fine, neat and accomplished...
In Liberty Art & Craft, Jugendstil or French Art Nouveau style, the side "handles", some highlighted with iris, more ornamental than utilitarian, are only a frame added to the plastic of these two "Belles" from the New Century...
Good general condition with logical tin oxidations consistent with the age and use of the object, trinket tray or jewelry tray, combs , with brushes....
No signature, just a number on the back.
