Baccarat - Centrepiece - Bronze and Crystal

An important and rare neoclassical pair made toward the end of the 19th century by the Baccarat Maison, signed on the underside, is exceptional for the diamond-shaped solid crystal parts. With the union of gilded bronze and cut crystal, they belong to a fashion particularly appreciated toward the end of the century; both depict two winged cherubs richly detailed in gilded bronze, resting on a crystal base, with four charming feet shaped like spinning tops in gilded bronze, which hold in their hands two spheres of black marble. The lot will be properly packed and shipped with authorized couriers and with online tracking. For this lot, shipments outside the European Community are not made. The upper parts of the centerpiece are missing.
