Found in France

A sculptural vintage bronze vide poche cast in the form of a broad serrated leaf. The silhouette has been carefully modeled to capture the irregular pointed edges of the leaf, while subtle veins travel across the recessed surface and give the otherwise dark composition a quiet sense of naturalism.

The bronze has developed an especially handsome deep patina, appearing nearly black in areas with subtle undertones of green and oxidized bronze emerging across the surface. The darkness of the finish gives the botanical subject an unexpectedly graphic quality, allowing the piece to feel equally at home among organic forms and more modern decorative objects.

Leaf-form trays have a long history in decorative arts, but the restrained treatment here keeps it from feeling overly ornamental. It works beautifully as a vide poche for jewelry or small personal objects while remaining interesting enough to display completely empty.

Collectors Notes

A good counterpoint to more geometric objects. Use it as a small serving dish for wrapped sweets. It also works beautifully left empty.

A graceful counterpoint for any collected desk or shelf.

Who Are You Buying From?

Every object here has a journey before it ever reaches you. I've spent years seeking these pieces out, in back rooms of old ateliers, from families who've inherited more than they can keep, through dealers I've come to trust, in conversations with people who still work with their hands, because I've always believed the things we choose to live with should carry something true. What began as a private obsession became a devotion, one I now share with my wife and daughter, who remind me daily that the best collections are the ones built to be passed down, not simply owned. What you're holding isn't just an object. You're inheriting its story, and becoming part of its next chapter.
