Chiseled pewter fountain on its Louis XV style oak cabinet

A superb curved fountain in chased pewter on its Louis XV style oak stand.

A striking fountain with an impressively detailed decoration featuring the arms of France, marked with three fleurs-de-lis.

It comprises a reservoir decorated with grotesques: two tritons in a fountain adorned with dolphins beneath a shield bearing the arms of France.

The fountain's design is so intricate that the water appears to be the same color as the fountain in the basin.

The decoration is exceptionally detailed and chased.
The reservoir and its lid are curved in all directions and decorated with grotto motifs and Louis XV style ornaments with floral patterns.
The lid is surmounted by a finial in the form of a seated putto holding a shell.

The reservoir retains its dolphin-shaped taps.

The basin is also exquisitely crafted, chased, and curved; it is adorned with two handles and retains its perfectly fitting protective zinc cover. The chiseling is magnificent, and the floral decoration is repeated around the edge.

All these pewter elements are in excellent condition with a beautiful patina.
The fountain perfectly complements its Louis XV style oak cabinet.

The oak cabinet is very light, unlike the heavy pieces we see all too often.
It supports the pewter fountain on a finely crafted pediment decorated with shells.
The top is curved in all directions to accommodate its basin, with an opulent floral design adorned with a central shell.
The base is very finely curved and rests on four elegant, delicate Louis XV feet, the whole piece carved with Louis XV shells.
No restoration to report. A magnificent piece of Louis XV style work, crafted in the 19th century, of very high quality.
The oak patina is simply waxed and a beautiful medium walnut color. A stunning decorative fountain, lightweight and easy to place.

Dimensions: 174 cm high x 46 cm long x 36 cm wide.
