Art Deco 1930 Pair Of Geometric Table Flowers Vases In Solid .925 Sterling Silver

Pair of art-deco flower vases designed by International Silver.

These are a magnificent pair of table flower vases created in America during the art-deco period, back in the 1920's. They were masterfully crafted by the International Sterling Company, with geometric Egyptian tulips patterns in solid .925/.999 sterling silver with polished finish. Its conical shape and narrow base are classic for holding a single flower such as a rose or orchid. They were very common at elegant dinner parties in the early 20th century, used for decoration without obstructing the view between guests. The pattern of lines that rise and fan out is an iconic Art Deco motif, symbolizing modernity and dynamism. The upper grid and the small holes are designed to hold slender stems or small branches of foliage such as baby's breath or ferns for support, while the main flower such as a rose or lily goes in the larger central hole. This design allows the flower to stand perfectly upright and maintain an aesthetically pleasing composition without the stem wobbling inside the vase.
