Antique Aesthetic Movement Hammered Brass Vase, Circa Late 19th-Early 20th Century. The simple bulbous vase form incorporates a hammered surface and top-applied details. The cast leaves, berries and a small beetle are extremely life-like in appearance, and likely cast from molds of actual specimens. The flared mouth has a slightly recessed platform with an etched alligator-like texture. Unsigned. In the style of works by Gorham.
