A beautifully crafted Art Deco opalescent art glass vase featuring a soft blue-to-milky white translucence that glows elegantly in the light. The piece is decorated with raised floral motifs resembling stylized blossoms and beadwork panels, giving it a refined yet organic appearance typical of early 20th-century decorative glass. The rounded, bulbous body transitions into a gently flared neck with a smooth, polished rim, while the intricate molded details add depth and visual interest from every angle. The opalescent finish creates a luminous quality, highlighting the craftsmanship and subtle color variations throughout. In good vintage condition with minor surface wear consistent with age, this vase is an excellent example of classic art glass and would make a striking addition to any antique glass or decorative arts collection. Vase has few chips on the inside of the rim. Approx. dimensions (in): 10.25 x 8 x 8.

Condition

An antique French wooden figural mantel clock featuring a neoclassical design with two seated classical figures flanking a central drum-form clock case, surmounted by an urn finial. The case appears to be constructed of wood with a gold-painted finish, showcasing detailed architectural elements and decorative urns on either side. The enamel dial with Roman numerals remains present, along with the original style hands, and the rear reveals a two-train movement with bell strikes. This piece is being sold as found and requires significant restoration: there is notable cracking and separation to the case, surface wear, losses to the gilt finish, structural instability, and deterioration around the movement housing. The dial shows damage and loss, and the working condition of the movement is unknown. Despite its condition issues, the clock retains strong decorative presence and offers an excellent restoration project or parts opportunity for collectors of French decorative arts.
