Description from the seller
A high-quality decorative piece with a striking visual presence. This centerpiece (or fruit bowl or cake stand) stands out for its elaborate ornamentation and impressive size, ideal as a centerpiece in a classic and refined setting.
Detailed Technical Specifications
-Style: Neo-Baroque / Rococo. This style is evident in the exuberance of its organic forms, the use of rocaille, and the plant motifs that cover both the rim and the base.
-Material: Made of high-density yelow metal, most likely silver-plated brass. It features a natural patina that lends it character and authenticity.
-Technique: Cast metal with embossed and chiseled details. The precision in the reliefs of the flowers and acanthus leaves demonstrates superior craftsmanship.
-Ornamentation: The design is divided into lobed compartments. The rim is richly decorated with reliefs of floral garlands and rocaille motifs. The base (pedestal) maintains visual coherence with a shaft decorated in relief with acanthus leaves.
-Marks: No hallmarks are visible to the naked eye; it is possible that the maker's mark is hidden under the dense layer of patina or has worn away over time, which is common in 19th-century pieces.
Measurements:
Length: 35.7 cm
Width: 26.7 cm
Height: 14 cm
Base diameter: 16.7 cm
-Condition of the Piece
The piece is in excellent structural condition, with some slight dents or deformation located on the edge of the smooth center (look carefully at the photo within the yellow oval). It has an original antique patina (natural darkening of the metal); it has not been thoroughly cleaned to preserve its historical value and allow the buyer to decide whether they prefer to maintain the aged appearance or restore the original silver luster.
Note: A piece of this size and weight is a testament to the elegance of bygone eras. Perfect for enhancing any room.
