AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Important and rare neoclassical pair made towards the end of the 19th century by Maison Baccarat, signed under the base, are exceptional due to the parts cut in solid crystal in the shape of diamonds. With the alliance of gilded bronze and cut crystal, they are part of a fashion particularly appreciated towards the end of the 1800s, both depicting two elaborately detailed winged Cherubs in gilded bronze resting on a crystal base, with four charming feet shaped like topies in gilded bronze, supporting two black marble spheres in their hands. The lot will be properly packed and shipped with insured couriers and online tracking. Shipping outside the European Community is not available for this lot.
The upper parts of the centerpiece are missing.
