older looking metal & glass thing

I wonder what this is and who made it, only has a number 131 on base that I can see.
Any ideas on this piece ?

Thank You

 

It’s beautiful, Billy!

 

Lovely & interesting. What does it look like inside the flower?

 

looks art Nouveau....

 

I don't know what it is but I love it!

 

Beautiful. I'm with komo, the style is Art Nouveau. Let's hope it is Art Nouveau period as well.

 

Part of a clock garniture maybe? I don't know that it has a purpose other than as an "oh pretty". It does that quite well.

 

I'd put a tealite candle in it and enjoy the ambiance.

 

Very pretty,can we see a pic looking down into it? How is that bowl attached? Knee jerk reaction is a reproduction,but Im often wrong.

 

Hi Billy,
What ever it is it is GORGEOUS!!! I would find space for it somewhere here.

I too want to see some pics inside and of the shade. Looks like a stretch glass shade. Think this has some honest age but could be wrong. Gilt bronze?

 

Thanks everyone, I grabbed it fast because it reminded me of Art Nouveau .
Here are some photos.

 

Anyone know what this is called ?

 

From the looks of it...I think it's a candlestick/holder? Very pretty - I'm with the others who aren't sure if it's art nouveau(looks old to me but I've guessed wrong too many times to count) or a reproduction in art nouveau style. Might this be a maker's mark? Can you get a closer up picture of this spot?

 

And the cat would soon find a way to knock it over!

 

And if one cat didn't kill it, the next one in line would take a crack or a paw at it?

 

The Glass looks like Stretch Glass.

 

My vote is older, but could be wrong. I don't think a new piece would have a number on the base like that. Also the glass looks really well done. What a great design.

 

It's not a makers mark, just a dirt spot.

 

Thanks Lucille..
