Art Nouveau brass and green glass teapot warmer by Jan Eisenloeffel

  

He was known for his work in metal, particularly bronze and brass, creating decorative objects, lighting, and functional items like teapots and stands. His designs often featured organic forms, stylized motifs, and a distinctive use of materials and patinas.

Eisenloeffel's work is highly sought after by collectors for its artistic merit and historical significance within the Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau periods. This particular item, a teapot warmer, exemplifies the functional elegance characteristic of Eisenloeffel's output. The use of green glass panels, combined with the intricate metalwork and the overall form, suggests a piece designed to be both practical and aesthetically pleasing, fitting for the Art Nouveau era's emphasis on integrating art into everyday life. Such pieces were often used to keep tea warm at the table, adding a touch of luxury and artistry to the domestic setting. Missing 1 stained glass panel.
