This magnificent biscuit tin from the Saint-Denis factory is a typical piece of Art Nouveau, an artistic movement that flourished in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This style is characterized by organic forms, inspired by nature, and great attention to decorative details.
The object is made of satin-finished opaline glass with a pale green hue, which gives it a visual softness and refined elegance. It is adorned with a hand-painted design depicting anemone flowers with pink petals and black centers, surrounded by delicately worked foliage. Golden arabesques complete the ensemble, adding a touch of refinement and sophistication.
The silver-plated metal lid, finely chiseled with floral motifs, recalls the influence of the naturalistic style characteristic of Art Nouveau. It is topped with a small dome-shaped knob and held in place by a metal frame with side handles, demonstrating meticulous craftsmanship. This piece represents the exceptional expertise of the Saint-Denis factory, renowned for the quality of its enameled glass and its influences inspired by nature. It perfectly illustrates the elegance and finesse of the Art Nouveau style, creating an object that is both functional and decorative.
