A rare cast-iron and sheet-iron Medicis ornamental vase on a pedestal, adorned with a rich chased bronze and gilded mercury trim, featuring lion heads suspending a ring, a collar at the base connection. The quality of the bronzes is remarkable, and this is probably Ravrio's work. Empire period, early 19th century.
Vases in cast iron and gilded bronze are very rare and amateur pieces. Our piece is perfect as a centerpiece for a mantelpiece, console table or pedestal table. A fine collector's item
Good overall condition, cast iron and sheet metal have retained their original patina, with traces of corrosion. Beautiful mercury gilding on the bronzes, perfectly preserved.
