Neoclassical Gilt Bronze And Crystal Centerpiece, France Late 19th Century

Elegant neoclassical-style centerpiece featuring three finely crafted gilt bronze caryatids, each dressed in antique style and holding a dark patinated bronze basket of fruit and flowers. The figures support a circular ring adorned with gilt bronze moldings, supporting a large cut crystal dish, richly decorated with star and diamond motifs. The ensemble rests on a curved gilt bronze base, itself mounted on a veined green marble plinth, providing stability and refined contrast. Dating from the late 19th century, this piece embodies the enduring legacy of the Empire style, masterfully reinterpreted during the French revival period. A decorative and functional object, ideal for a refined interior or antique collection.
