Description from the seller

Napoleon III Empire Cup in bronze and Antique Yellow Marble – France, 19th century

Important French decorative cup from the Napoleon III era, crafted in patinated bronze and Antique Yellow Marble, notable for its dramatic presence and monumental proportions.

A decorative object with a strong neoclassical taste, capable of recalling the atmosphere of the great aristocratic French mansions of the 19th century.

The cup features a refined beaded basin supported by a foot decorated with vegetal motifs and resting on an architectural base in Antique Yellow Marble with splendid natural veining. The two side handles, richly carved with volutes and floral motifs, give the piece a typically Empire-era elegance.

Of particular charm and absolutely unique is the presence inside the cup of the imprint left by an antique key that had rested there for many years. An authentic and poetic detail, deliberately left untouched, that speaks of the passage of time and gives the object a unique and unrepeatable character.

Significant weight of about 5.6 kg, evidence of material quality and solid construction. The bronze patina is warm and deep, with soft tones that enhance every decorative detail.

Splendid as an impressive centerpiece, a console cup, or a decorative element for bookcases, entrances, or high-end classical and contemporary interiors. Also perfect placed in Grand Tour, neoclassical, or eclectic contexts.

Overall good condition. Some small chips to the edges of the marble base are noted, visible in the photos and consistent with the age and use of the piece. Patina and traces of time are coherent and fascinating.

Dimensions: 30.5 x 24 x 18 cm.
Weight: approximately 5600 grams.
