AI-assisted summary
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.
Seller's Story
Antiques are my enormous passion; all the items I have up for auction were found at antique fairs and from antique dealers mainly in the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original and obviously beautiful. Quality guarantee and very careful shipping of the pieces.
ATTENTION: If you are interested in one of my pieces that has a reserve price, please note that I will absolutely not offer it for less than 80% of the reserve value of the piece. And I should also note that if that piece is not sold here on Catawiki, I will sell it at another auction house, so if you’re really interested in any of my pieces, buy it when you see it the first time.
Thank you very much
