AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Lovely pair of French curtain supports from the second half of the 19th century, Napoleon III in gilt bronze.
The letters correspond to the maker's mark or the French master founder (fondeur) responsible for the bronze casting. In the antiques market, marked pieces are often associated with high-quality Parisian foundry workshops active in the 19th century.
The number refers to the catalog or model number of the piece. At the time, French foundries kept strict numerical records for their decorative molds, which allowed customers to order additional pairs or identical supplementary pieces through the foundry's catalog.
Both are in fairly good condition.
Seller's Story
Antiques are my great passion; all the items I have on auction were found at antique fairs and antique shops mainly from the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal, a country with a centuries-old history and many fabulous pieces and objects from this long journey, which I present here for auction. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original, and obviously beautiful. Guarantee of quality and great care in the shipping of the items. Thank you.
