Extraordinary mercury-gilded bronze centerpiece, of French manufacture, attributable to Pierre-Philippe Thomire, the foremost exponent of Parisian bronze work between the late 18th and early 19th centuries. A work of the highest museum quality, emblematic of the Empire style.
The refined sculptural group is composed of three allegorical figures in the round, modeled with exceptional anatomical skill and a sense of movement, supporting a rich upper fretworked cup. The cylindrical base, embellished with classical reliefs, festoons and winged figures, demonstrates a technical and artistic mastery of the highest level. The original gilding, luminous and deep, enhances the details and gives the ensemble a scenic presence of great impact.
Object intended for the most prestigious aristocratic residences of the time, this centerpiece represents a perfect synthesis between sculptural art and decorative arts, ideal as a focal piece for representative environments or collections of high antiquarian value. A work of rare elegance and prestige, intended for demanding collectors and lovers of the excellence of French art.
