Mahogany and gilt bronze somno, Paris Empire

Rare circular somno in Cuban mahogany veneer opening with a door that reveals two shelves, one of which is in black granite.
Beautiful ornamentation of gilded bronze, ingot mold, rose window, foliage, Apollo mask.
Tray in brocatelle Jura marble.

Iron mark crossed out at the bottom.

Paris Empire period around 1810.

Beautiful state of conservation, small gaps in the bronze frieze.

Height: 79cm; diameter: 39cm

Our opinion :

The somno that we present is of superior quality, whether by the richness of its bronzes, the quality of its veneer or the preciousness of its bowl tray.
The presence of several iron marks probably refers to different assignments of the imperial furniture guard.
