A nice Art Nouveau letter holder by Elise Ward Hering circa 1900.
It represents a woman with long hair, dressed in a draped tunic lined with maroon leaves.
She holds a book half open, embellished with water lilies in relief.
The base evokes a watercourse.
Brown patinated metal, signed W Hering on the base.
Very good original condition.
H : 12″
L : 11.5″
