Vintage Art Deco Revival Brass Cylindrical Vase by Dara International, Chicago, 1983

This striking cylindrical vase was produced in 1983 by Dara International of Chicago, a company known for its high-quality decorative objects during the late 20th-century Art Deco revival. Crafted in polished brass, the vase features a tall, architectural form accentuated by a sculptural applied metal motif that wraps elegantly around the body. The reflective brass surface enhances the clean vertical lines, while the contrasting raised detailing introduces movement and softness, creating a balanced interplay between structure and ornament. The design draws clear inspiration from classic Art Deco principles — symmetry, glamour, and bold materiality — interpreted through the lens of 1980s post-modern luxury.

Equally effective as a standalone sculptural object or styled with dried or minimalist floral arrangements, this piece makes a confident statement on a dining table, console, or shelving display. A rare and visually impactful example of 1980s decorative design with unmistakable Deco influence.
