Where nature meets craftsmanship. 🌿

This exceptional Art Nouveau vase, dating from the early 20th century, celebrates one of the movement’s most iconic motifs—the iris. Gracefully sculpted flowers emerge from flowing stems that wrap around the vase, transforming a simple object into a work of art.

Inspired by the beauty of nature, Art Nouveau rejected rigid forms in favour of elegant curves, botanical details, and handcrafted ornamentation. Every angle of this piece reveals delicate relief work and remarkable attention to detail, reflecting the artistry of the Belle Époque.

Accompanied by its matching floral picture frame, this ensemble is a timeless decorative statement—perfect for displaying fresh blooms or simply admired as a sculptural antique.

A rare piece that brings over a century of history, craftsmanship, and elegance into today’s interiors.

Available through our shop.

Reviving artistry, one detail at a time.

At Manoir d’Anton, we believe every painting carries a history worth preserving. Our restoration process combines careful observation, traditional craftsmanship and modern conservation expertise to stabilise, repair and revive each artwork with sensitivity to its age and character.

Our work also extends beyond the canvas. We restore antique and decorative frames using traditional methods and carefully selected materials, from structural repairs and the reconstruction of missing ornament to surface cleaning, gesso work, gilding and sympathetic retouching. Wherever possible, original material is retained and every intervention is approached with restraint.

intervention is approached with restraint.

The aim is never to make an artwork or frame look newly made, but to preserve its integrity, recover its presence and allow it to be appreciated for generations to come.

For restoration enquiries, please contact us via the link in our bio.
