Monumental French Moderne Verdigris Bronze Vase , Manner of Gilbert Poillerat

Description

Monumental French Moderne Bronze Vase with Verdigris Patina, in the Manner of Gilbert Poillerat, 1950s

A striking French Moderne cast bronze vase of impressive weight and presence, standing 18 inches tall and weighing 36 pounds. The bold flaring silhouette rises from a square plinth supported by four stylized paw feet"”a classical motif reinterpreted here with mid-century restraint.

Executed in solid bronze with a superb verdigris patina, the surface displays rich green and brown tones, recalling the grandeur of antiquity while speaking directly to the modernist taste for monumental, architectural form. The 10.75-inch square mouth and 15-inch interior depth make it practical for dramatic floral arrangements, though it is equally compelling as a sculptural object on its own. Raised on a 5.75-inch square pedestal base.

This vase reflects the French Moderne aesthetic of the 1950s, where designers like Gilbert Poillerat and his contemporaries reimagined classical forms in bold, pared-down idioms for sophisticated interiors. A commanding decorative piece that bridges tradition and modernism, ideal for collectors of postwar French design.
