AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Liquor stand.
Patinated metal sculptural structure with a boy or cherub seated on a dog, probably a hunting or rescue dog, a common theme in 19th-century decorative arts in the Napoleon III style.
Very common in European high society to offer a digestif to guests after a dinner or meal.
Bronze ornamental elements of branches, leaves and a bird for table liquor service, sideboard, or even as decoration in an office.
It could be an antique souvenir from the "Grand Tour," probably from the luxurious shops of the 1800s at the famous Palais Royal in Paris, former Palace of Cardinal Richelieu, a shopping place for the rich and notable visitors of the Grand Tour.
Young people of high society undertook a grand post-school journey through Europe, accompanied by servants and chests, lasting from months to two or three years; one had to see ruins, buy art, and return cultured. It was the transition between the elite educational trip and modern tourism.
