Description from the seller

Important large ornamental cup in bronze and marble – 19th century
Magnificent and elegant ornamental cup from the 19th century, made in patinated bronze and marble, of high executive quality and notable visual presence.
The cup features a body richly shaped with refined relief decoration of botanical tendrils and leaves, finely chased and developed with a fluid and natural flow, typical of the best decorative production of a late 19th-century taste. On the upper rim stand out two winged putti in bronze, sculpted with great plastic sensitivity and anatomical attention, captured in a contemplative pose, an element of strong symbolic elegance and compositional value.
The bronze casting is of excellent quality, with a warm, deep patina that enhances volumes and details, giving the whole a noble and authentic appearance. All of it rests on a solid marble base, turned and proportioned, which provides vertical thrust and stability, creating a refined material contrast with the metal.
The ensemble is harmonious, imposing and of great formal balance, designed as an object of representative decorative use, ideal for gentlemanly interiors, period rooms, decorative arts collections, or as a central element on a console, columns, or coffee tables.

Era: 19th century
Materials: patinated bronze and marble

Dimensions:
– Height: 35 cm
– Width: 20 cm
– Depth: 13 cm

Excellent overall condition. A minimal and slight chip to the marble base is noted, visible in the photographs, of purely aesthetic character, absolutely not compromising stability nor the harmonious view of the piece. Original bronze patina, consistent with the period.
Object of great charm and quality, expression of the best 19th-century decorative tradition, rare to find in these conditions and with such sculptural richness.

The photos are an integral part of the description. Guaranteed careful packaging entrusted to professionals in the field.
