Description from the seller
Elegant crystal bowl / centerpiece with bronze mounts – Napoleon III style
Elegant molded crystal bowl or centerpiece enhanced with finely cast bronze mounts. The piece features a graceful oval shape with fluted radial decoration in the crystal, complemented by sculptural bronze applications on each side.
A delicate bronze rim follows the entire contour of the bowl, adding refinement and balance to the design. The decorative side mounts, shaped as stylized scrolls and foliage, provide a strong ornamental and sculptural presence.
This type of object reflects the refined decorative taste of the Napoleon III period, inspired by classical Louis XV / Louis XVI styles, widely appreciated in European decorative arts of the late 19th century.
Perfect as a centrepiece, fruit bowl or decorative object, combining elegant materials with refined craftsmanship.
