Description from the seller

A beautiful and richly decorated antique French furniture-, mirror- or clock ornament (fronton) in the classical Louis XVI style, dating from the late 19th or early 20th century.

This high-quality object is made of heavy cast bronze (or brass) and on the front features a stunning gold-colored fire-gilded or patinated finish. The refined design shows a central medallion flanked by symmetrical garlands of foliate tracery, flowers and acanthus motifs.

The back bears the authentic French inscribed mark "Déposé" (registered design) and the model number 370C, testifying to an official and protected design. Also on the back is the original mounting screw, surrounded by a beautiful natural green patina (verdigris). A wonderful collector’s item or restoration piece.
