AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Fantastic cup, of French origin, signed.
In patinated bronze and gilded, with a mascaron-shaped body, a face that resembles a Greek deity, wings in the shape of putti, seated on a striated marble base in reddish jasper tones.
Very detailed with raised-relief decoration, featuring vegetal motifs, an excellent workmanship, very well crafted indeed.
Both the metal part and the stone base are in very good condition, only signs of use and a beautiful patina.
Seller's Story
Antiques are my great passion; all the items I have on auction were found at antique fairs and antique shops mainly from the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal, a country with a centuries-old history and many fabulous pieces and objects from this long journey, which I present here for auction. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original, and obviously beautiful. Guarantee of quality and great care in the shipping of the items. Thank you.
