Vintage Filigree Gilt Metal Floral Bouquet Sculpture

This item is a small, decorative metal sculpture featuring a central egg-shaped form set upon a fluted pedestal base. The central body is constructed of intricate, open-work filigree metal, likely gold-toned brass or gilt base metal. Growing from the top of the filigree body are several wire-stemmed flowers, each featuring multi-layered petals finished in various enamel or paint colors including shades of peach, turquoise blue, and yellow. The base is circular with a scalloped edge and vertical fluting, providing a stable foundation for the top-heavy arrangement. Physically, the piece appears to be approximately 4 to 6 inches in height. The condition shows significant signs of age-related wear and patina. There is notable oxidation and darkening of the gold-toned finish, particularly on the base and within the recessed areas of the filigree. The enamel on the flower petals exhibits chipping, fading, and some loss of vibrancy. Some of the wire stems appear slightly bent or irregularly spaced, indicating past handling. No maker's mark is immediately visible in the photograph, but the style is consistent with mid-20th-century boutique vanity items or miniature collectibles from the 1950s or 1960s, possibly of Italian or French origin. The craftsmanship is moderately high, utilizing delicate metalwork to create a lightweight, airy aesthetic. The combination of industrial wire-work with hand-painted floral accents makes it a unique example of mid-century decorative 'objet d'art'.
