Superb Fountain In Chiselled Pewter On Its Louis XV Style Oak Cabinet

Superb curved fountain in chiseled pewter on its Louis XV style oak support cabinet.
a surprising fountain with an impressive decoration extremely excavated with the coat of arms of France, marked with three fleur-de-lys.
it is composed of its reservoir decorated with grotesques:
two tritons in a fountain decorated with dolphins under a crest with the arms of France.
a fountain setting where the water appears to be the color of the fountain in the basin.
the decor is extremely well excavated and chiselled. the tank and its lid are curved in all directions and adorned with cave motifs and decorative louis XV ornaments with floral motifs.
the lid is overhung by a socket in the shape of a seated putti holding a shell.
the reservoir retained its dolphin-shaped taps.
the basin is also extremely worked, chiselled and curved, it is adorned with two handles and has retained its perfectly adapted protective zinc.
the carving work is magnificent and we find the floral decoration on the edge.
All these pewter elements have remained in excellent condition with a beautiful patina of time.
the fountain fits perfectly with its Louis XV style oak furniture.
the oak furniture is very light, unlike the heavy furniture that we see too often.
it receives the pewter fountain on a finely worked pediment decorated with shells.
the part of the top is curved in all directions according to its basin with an opulent foral decoration adorned with a central shell.
the base is very finely curved and rests on four louis XV feet of great finesse, very elegant, all carved with louis XV shells.
no restoration to report.
magnificent work of Louis XV style, and manufacture of the XIX th century of very good quality.
the patina of the oak is only waxed and of a beautiful medium walnut color.
a superb decorative fountain, light and easy to place.
