Silent Servant Made Of Crystal And Gilded Bronze From The Charles X Era
This two-tiered, silent serving stand in crystal and gilded bronze, a remarkable testament to the craftsmanship of the decorative arts during the Restoration (the Charles X era, circa 1820–1830), elegantly stacks two polylobed bowls with scalloped rims and flat-faceted cutting, embraced by a central bronze structure finely chased with palmettes, acanthus leaves, and guilloché motifs; the ensemble rests on a thick molded crystal pedestal adorned with a sculpted molding and is crowned by an ornate handle depicting two facing dolphins, creating a table piece that is both majestic and refined, designed for serving sweets at grand receptions.
