Pair 19th Century French Patinated Bronze Alhambra Vases, Stamped Tiffany & Co.

Description

An Incredible and Rare Pair of 19th Century French Islamic Style Patinated Bronze Alhambra Vases, Stamped Tiffany & Co. The vases draw inspiration from Islamic design and the Nasrid art of the Alhambra in Granada, Spain. Modeled after medieval Nasrid amphora vases from the Alhambra in Granada, Spain, these pieces feature intricate arabesque patterns, stylized foliage, and decorative motifs, evoking the aesthetics of Nasrid art from the 13th to 15th centuries. The amphora-shaped bodies, surmounted by large wing-like handles, a hallmark of Alhambra-style design. The bronze surfaces are finely detailed, featuring geometric and floral elements characteristic of Islamic art. The wing-like handles, purely decorative, are seamlessly integrated into the design. These vases demonstrate the integration of Islamic motifs into late 19th-century Western decorative arts. France, Circa: 1860
