Fruit bowl - Luis XV - Bronze, Brass

This early 20th-century fruit stand, made of bronze and gilded brass, perfectly embodies that ornamental and voluptuous spirit of Louis XV style reinterpreted in the modern era. The piece is arranged on two levels: a wide lower tray, supported by three small feet gracefully worked, and a more compact upper tray, elevated by a central axis that acts almost like a decorative column. Both surfaces feature warm gold plating, gently patinated by time, which enhances reflections and adds depth to the metal.

The upper handle, with its sinuous design and elegant curves, is perhaps the most clearly Rococo detail: a motif that seems to spring from the structure itself, like a stylized branch that winds naturally. That ornamental gesture, together with the wavy profiles of the trays, directly evokes the French taste of the 18th century, where visual lightness and movement were essential. Yet the craftsmanship of the early 20th century provides solidity and precision in the metal that betray an experienced workshop accustomed to working decorative pieces of high quality.

The ensemble maintains a perfect balance between utility and beauty. It is a fruit stand designed to grace a table or sideboard, capable of adding a touch of refinement without being ostentatious. Its excellent state of conservation allows one to appreciate both the original patina and the richness of the details, turning it into a decorative object with historical charm and its own presence.
