Cast-iron selette resting on an elegant tripod base terminating in claw feet. The central shaft is animated by three stylized herons with slender lines, arranged in relief, supporting a circular top adorned with decorative motifs. A low brace embellished with a turned knob reinforces the overall balance.
This type of sellette, typical of 19thᵉ century production, illustrates the period's taste for naturalistic decor and animal inspirations, characteristic of the transition between the Napoleon III style and Art Nouveau. Designed to hold a planter, vase or sculpture, it is still a refined and decorative support today.
France XIXᵉ century
