Bombay Company Pierced Metal Vase

Curatorial Story & Cultural Heritage

This is a late 20th-century pierced metal decorative vase by the Bombay Company. The Bombay Company was founded in 1978 as a specialty retailer offering classically inspired furniture, home accessories, and decorative items. Their products frequently reinterpreted traditional styles such as Asian bronzes, colonial hardwoods, and European brassware for modern decorative markets. Decorative metalware from this maker often utilized casting techniques to replicate the look of antique pierced bronzes at an accessible price point. Such ornamental vases were designed primarily for interior display as shelf or mantel accents rather than for holding water or cut flowers. Period: Late 20th Century Origin: United States
