Centrepiece - Ormolu - Gilt bronze - Antique bronze stand

Bronze gilt centerpiece stand (ormolu style) made in the neoclassical style during the 19th century (the 1800s). The plate features a rich mythological scene, chased in bas-relief, depicting figures of ancient Rome set within an ancient architectural space. The central plate is supported on a central shaft in spelter that rests on a bronze tripod base, richly worked with volute motifs and decorated feet, typical of the eclectic and neoclassical taste of French nineteenth-century.
