Decorative Centerpiece with Neptune in Gilded Bronze and Mother-of-Pearl - 19th Century

An extraordinary 19th-century decorative object, this centerpiece combines the preciousness of mother-of-pearl with the mastery of gilded bronze casting.

The composition features a large, polished natural shell with iridescent hues, mounted on a sculpture depicting Neptune, the Roman god of the sea, seated with a trident in one hand and a symbolic sphere in the other.

The figure is finely chiseled in gilded bronze, with meticulous detail in the anatomical representation and in the rendering of the flowing beard and draperies.

Two delicate ear-shaped decorations, also in gilded bronze, are applied to the edge of the shell and underneath, adding elegance and symmetry to the ensemble.

A highly charming object, ideal as a collector's item or decorative display piece.

Perfect for classic settings or as a refined contrast in modern settings.
