Art Nouveau Centrepiece Gold Planter. Tin, Metal. Victor Saglier, Circa Late 19th Century.

Art Nouveau centerpiece gold plant. Tin, metal. Victor Saglier, circa late 19th century.
With marks.
Oval centerpiece that responds to a typology sometimes used as planters, made of silver-plated metal and decorated on the outside with a delicate composition based on curved moldings (which create handles and legs) and leaves and fruit. Stylistically, it responds to Art Nouveau models. Victor Saglier (1809-1894) was a master goldsmith active in Paris (France), highly appreciated for his Art Nouveau style works, creating pieces for Majorelle and Gallé. When he died, the company became Saglier Frères, run from then on by his brothers Eguène and André, until the latter died in 1948.
