AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Napoleon III style centerpiece, made of repoussé and pierced tin, dated to the first half of the 19th century, with exuberant decoration and ornamental character. The structure features a festooned border, stylized scroll handles, and metal filigree work with floral and geometric motifs, typical of the decorative eclecticism of the period.

The gemstone inlays, possibly in turquoise tones or similar, are arranged symmetrically on the body of the vessel, providing chromatic contrast and a luxurious accent. The lower pedestal, also decorated, elevates the piece and enhances its sculptural presence.

This type of object, designed to adorn salon tables or sideboards, reflects the bourgeois taste for refined ostentation and the mix of historicist styles. Its condition, richness of details, and balance between modest material and sophisticated design make it a prominent piece for collectors of 19th-century decorative arts or period settings.

Certified shipping and good packaging.
