AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Crystal vase with gilded bronze mount – Napoleon III / Louis XVI style
Elegant and highly decorative vase featuring a cylindrical clear crystal body mounted in a finely chased and pierced gilt bronze structure. The ornamentation displays rich vegetal motifs, garlands and scrolls typical of the refined Napoleon III decorative taste, inspired by the Louis XVI style.
The two sculptural side handles are gracefully curved and extend down towards the base, framing the crystal body and creating a harmonious and sophisticated composition. The tripod base with ornate decoration adds further sculptural presence to the piece.
Objects of this type were often produced for aristocratic and bourgeois interiors during the late 19th century, serving as decorative vases, flower holders or centrepiece ornaments.
The quality of the bronze casting and chasing combined with the elegant crystal body make this a fine example of French decorative arts from the Napoleon III period.
