French Empire Centerpiece – circa 1810 An exceptional example of Napoleonic elegance: this fire-gilt and patinated bronze centerpiece / jardinière is supported by two kneeling winged Cupids, each delicately holding a bow. The rich contrast between the dark patina and the warm gold tones creates a refined visual balance. The oval base is finely decorated with floral swags, rosettes, and stylized palmettes, while the openwork upper bowl features pierced acanthus motifs – making it suitable as a fruit basket, floral display, or sculptural accent. Rooted in classical mythology and executed with remarkable craftsmanship, this piece reflects the grandeur and harmony of the French Empire aesthetic. Dimensions: H 36 × W 30 × D 15 cm
