"Important Centerpiece/inkwell, Napoleon III Period, Renaissance Style, Silvered Bronze "
Antique and important silvered bronze centerpiece. An elegant table object resting on a triangular base adorned with rich Neo-Renaissance decoration. The composition features three putti supporting a central gadrooned vessel, resting on stylized dolphins. The removable lid is surmounted by a charming musical cherub, rendered with great finesse and movement. The piece measures 29cm high and 24cm wide. The whole demonstrates meticulous decorative work: vegetal friezes, claw feet, precise modeling of the figures, and fine chasing. The piece evokes 19th-century decorative productions inspired by the Italian Renaissance, intended for the adornment of desks or living room tables. Very good condition
