AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Typical elements: The base features the face of a putto/cherub (often referred to in France as the “Marmouset” motif) flanked by scrolls, symmetrical geometric elements, and hoofed feet, reflecting the lavish and solemn aesthetics of the Sun King’s court. Reference year based on the original patina: late 1700s–early 1800s. No cracks present, no breaks. Brass patina is superficial, with signs of very light rust on the bars of solid iron. No hidden signs of repair. They have been inspected carefully and have not been cleaned to preserve authenticity as proof of the period, apart from the aesthetics that indicate it.
