Vide poche - France

Very beautiful antique centerpiece bowl dating presumably from the second half of the 19th century, Napoleon III / neo-Rococo. A particularly decorative piece with a rich, fully worked ornament: pierced border with scrolls, shells and foliage, floral and fruit motifs, radiating gadroons and an elegant central medallion depicting an angel/putto in a vegetal setting. The bowl rests on a tripod foot in the shape of large acanthus leaves, itself very finely adorned. Beautiful patina of age with wear to the silver finish revealing warmer tones, as well as a few traces of greenish patina, which enhance its antique character. Diameter: 23 cm Height: 12 cm Weight: 1.595 kg Old condition with patina and signs of use consistent with its age. Material: antique metal alloy with a silvery finish, probably brass/spelter cast. A very pretty 19th-century decorative piece, particularly rich and original in its putti ornament and its very fine openwork.

Estimate:£2.53
