Ewer 19th century

This 19th-century silver ewer, created by Alexandre Gueyton, is a remarkable example of decorative arts. The elaborate design features a sinuous handle adorned with a winged figure, while the body is intricately sculpted with figures in a garden setting. The ewer's base further enhances its visual appeal, with a tree-like structure supporting the vessel. Its intricate details and ornate style reflect the artistic trends of the era, showcasing the craftsmanship and artistic sensibilities of the period. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York houses this exquisite piece, a testament to the artistry of Alexandre Gueyton.
