"Small Antique-style Bronze Tripod Cup, From The Empire Period, Very Early 19th Century."
Beautiful small bronze tripod cup in the antique style. A refined model featuring three winged lions (symbol of Venice) supporting a gadrooned basin resting on a central pilaster. Superb antique patina with traces of gilding. This lovely cup was most certainly intended to decorate a gentleman's desk.
