An ornate metal jardinière or centrepiece in the Belle Époque style, dating from 1900–1910, with a pierced oval bowl and sculpted putti legs.
Description from the seller
Important Jardinière / Centerpiece Sculptural in Bronze.
Circa 1900 (Late 19th century / transition to the early 20th century),
Italy (Crafts metalworking production from Northern Italy of the Victorian Era / Belle Époque).
Elegant jardinière or oval-shaped centerpiece in cast bronze and chiselled, featuring a rich dark patina aged with subtle natural gold reflections. The cup, with a rim cut in the shape of a vegetal crown, is entirely lavish in relief and pierced ornaments with motifs of spiraled volutes, shells and garlands of foliage. The piece rests on four legs formed as three-dimensional figures of putti (cherubs) sculpted, which seem to raise the piece with their arms.
Excellent vintage condition, showing minor wear and authentic patina consistent with age and regular use. Slight dents.
