Stunning scene of art deco Diana the Huntress on a metal Dinanderie Vase.

Not signed Mergier but this pattern is well known and appears on Mergier pieces, sometimes signed, sometimes not. It is however signed Evolution under the base.

Condition is good with some slight wear to the  patina and a few small dents but still in excellent condition. These dinanderie pieces are very fragile and extremely hard to find in such good condition.

11 inches (28cm) high,  6 inches (15cm) diameter.
