Description from the seller

Napoleon III style golden-leaf centerpiece, made around the mid-20th century, probably in France. This decorative piece blends the historicist romanticism typical of the Second Empire with a more modern sensibility in its execution. The design is composed of stylized leaves —possibly inspired by the oak— that spread out radially from the base, forming an open, sculptural structure. The leaves are wrought in gilded metal with an aged finish, evoking the ornamental and vegetal taste characteristic of the Napoleon III style.

The circular base, with a crenellated edge, provides stability and elegance, while the arched handles on the textured rod cross the top, adding dynamism and functionality. The ensemble conveys a theatrical and refined aesthetic, ideal as a centerpiece or decorative piece in classical, eclectic, or historicist-inspired interiors. Its craftsmanship reveals attention to detail and a clear intent to fuse decorative art with domestic utility, in line with the spirit of the nineteenth century reinterpreted in a modern key.

Certified shipping and good packaging.
