Ornamental Bowl In Gilded Bronze And Red Marble – Napoleonic III Period, 19th Century

An ornate bronze cup, finely chiseled and gilded, made during the second half of the 19th century in the Napoleon III style.

The veined red marble basin is held in place by a spectacular gilded bronze frame, adorned with three putti figures in the round supporting the bowl. The ensemble rests on a richly openwork tripod base, embellished with volutes, foliage motifs, and a matching red marble base, giving the piece remarkable balance and a striking decorative presence.

The quality of the chiseling, the finesse of the gilding, and the harmony of the materials attest to the high quality of the workshop’s craftsmanship. This bowl is a magnificent decorative object, ideal for a classical interior or a collection of 19th-century art bronzes.
