AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Large antique solid bronze mortar decorated with mascarons, heads, and garlands in the style of 17th-century pharmacy mortars (Louis XIII style).
The consistency of the casting, the sharpness of the reliefs, and the presence of a decorative date in Roman numerals indicate a high-quality antique reproduction, likely made between 1920 and 1960 by a European foundry specializing in historical models.
This type of mortar was traditionally used for grinding herbs, spices, or medicinal preparations, and today it is highly sought after for decoration, collection, and curiosity cabinets.
A high-quality decorative object, authentic in its craftsmanship, with a certain historical charm.
