Antique Sterling Silver Overlay Decanter – Art Nouveau Glass Flask w/ Handle & Spout, Monogram “ELMB,” c.1900
$225.00
A striking and unusual antique sterling silver overlay decanter, dating to the Art Nouveau period (circa 1900–1920). This beautifully crafted piece features a rounded glass body enveloped in intricate hand-applied sterling silver overlay, displaying flowing floral and scrollwork motifs characteristic of the era.
Unlike typical scent bottles, this example is designed with a functional pouring spout and sculpted handle, giving it the form of a miniature decanter or elegant table cruet—both decorative and practical. The original stopper remains intact, completing the piece.
A finely engraved monogram, “ELMB,” sits within a cartouche, adding a touch of personal history and charm.
This is a rare hybrid form—equally at home on a vanity, bar, or display cabinet.
