Gothic cylinder still bank c. early 20th century

This early 20th century, anonymous, brass "Gothic cylinder still bank" is a great example of the Gothic Revival style in decorative arts. The intricate design, with its pointed arches and stylized foliage, reflects a renewed interest in medieval architecture and aesthetics that was popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries. This charming and functional object, currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, would have been a popular and decorative addition to any home.
