Description from the seller
Refined French bronze ornament stands out for its meticulous artisanal craftsmanship, typical of European decoration from the late 19th to the early 20th century.
The piece features a symmetrical, balanced composition, dominated by a central basket overflowing with fruit, a classic symbol of abundance and prosperity in French ornamental language.
On either side of the central motif are two facing birds, delicately modeled, adding dynamism and a bucolic air to the overall design. The design is completed with scrolls, leaves, and floral motifs executed with precision, creating a rich and harmonious visual effect.
The bronze preserves a warm and uniform patina—Ormolu—as a testament to its age and authenticity. Its casting quality and the depth of relief indicate workshop-grade work, exclusive for collectors, interior designers, or restorers seeking a decorative piece with historical character.
Dimensions — H 36 x W 56 x D 2 cm.
Weight - 1.9 kg.
Exclusive collectible ornament, scarce due to its age, with a high-quality style meant to endure for many more years.
