    I need help dating this bronze holy water dispenser. It's approximately 16" tall by 7" wide. Much appreciated for the input. 20191017_110518-1071x1905.jpg 20191017_110532-1063x1891.jpg 20191017_110601.jpg 20191017_110544.jpg

    To my eye, appears to be from the late teens to early 1930s range, but leaning towards the '20s.

    The [hand-drawn] typeface on the front is copying a font design that was produced in the Nouveau period and still popular into the Art Deco timeframe.

    My best guess. See what others think.

    JMHO.
    la madonna delle stoffe is an Italian painting by Carlo Dolci; this here looks like a cheat artificially aged "bronze" and has nothing to do with real Viennese bronzes.
