Centrepiece - Ruby - Crystal, Brass

Ruby crystal basket with a bronze or gilded-brass mount.
Its lobed or 'striated' shape gives it an organic look, almost like a flower or a shell.
The intense red color of the crystal together with the gilded brass mount, finely worked with delicate filigree on the top, make this a beautiful decorative piece.
Its style is very characteristic of the late 19th century – early 20th century.
Pay special attention to the photographs as they form part of the description.
