Compote Dish - Cake Stand On A Pedestal Or Fruit Bowl

This is a compote dish or cake stand on a pedestal (or a fruit bowl) combining two materials. Object description: * The bowl: It is made of crystal, decorated with star motifs and concentric circles. * The base: It is a silver-plated metal base in the Louis XV/Napoleon III style, richly decorated with acanthus leaf motifs and ribbon bows. * Special feature: This is an "eclectic" style object often made in the late 19th or early 20th century. The "Registered" mark under the cake stand provides interesting information about its origin: * This indicates that the design or shape of the object was registered with an industrial property organization to prevent counterfeiting at the time of its creation. * Dating: This term was widely used in France from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century. It is a mark of French industrial or semi-industrial production. The mention "Registered" confirms that the item is not a recent copy.
