Gustave Serrurier-Bovy (1858-1910) Rare four-legged planter in oak, copper and brass housing a cylindrical vase in blue glazed terracotta, embellished with touches of turquoise. c. 1904. The work of Gustave Serrurier-Bovy embodies a timeless aesthetic, blending modern forms from the nascent design movement in Europe. This remarkable piece offers a glimpse of the choices made in terms of colours and materials: the harmony of the turquoise blue of the ceramic, the red of the copper and the yellow of the brass heralds the modernist avant-garde of future art deco interiors.
