AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Magnificent and exclusive French center made of bronze and patinated brass, from the mid-20th century (circa 1950).
Crafted with an expert blend of cast bronze and patinated brass in a sumptuous antique gold tone, it is much more than just an ornament; it is a statement of design and a testament to fine craftsmanship.

Its design stands out for the exquisite incorporation of two winged mythological swans that gracefully emerge from the edges of the bowl, serving as sculptural handles. The swans, symbols of elegance, purity, and love in classical iconography, elevate this piece to a higher artistic level. The bowl, with a wide and shallow profile, rests on a base with intricate detail, featuring a pierced and ornamented foundation in a style that evokes the richness of Neoclassical ornamentation. Every curve and relief has been crafted with precision, ensuring this is a unique piece with character and palpable history.

Dimensions: 46 cm between the ends of the swans, width 33 cm, and height 23 cm.

In excellent condition for its age, it becomes an exclusive and elegant piece for lovers of enduring beauty and distinction.

It is shipped with careful and secure packaging.
