Description

This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

Magnificent gilded bronze bowl resting on a Sienna yellow marble base, whose warm hues enhance the richness of the whole. Sculpted in the style of the Empire period, it features a gadrooned body with dynamic, perfectly balanced lines. The handles immediately catch the eye: they feature astonishing hybrid animals, with sinuous snake bodies topped by finely detailed bird heads. This bold and intriguing mythological fusion testifies to the period's taste for fabulous creatures and revisited antique references. The ensemble rests on a pedestal adorned with a frieze of gilded bronze acanthus leaves, a classic plant motif evoking elegance and durability. The union of bronze and marble, the precision of the chasing and the inventiveness of the decoration make this bowl a remarkable early 19th century objet d'art, worthy of the greatest imperial interiors.
