French 19th Century Renaissance St. Bronze, Marble, And Ormolu Planter/Stand

About the Item

A stunning and most impressive French 19th century Renaissance st. ormolu, patinated bronze and Rouge Griotte marble planter/stand. The planter is raised by three pierced scrolled ormolu legs with square feet retaining their original caster below acanthus leaves, unique finely detailed blooming flowers, and topie designs connecting to a circular mottled reeded central reserve with lovely foliate and hammered designs. The legs lead upwards to an outstanding central reserve of three exquisite masks of beautiful maidens with berried laurel wreaths in their hair and sun crowns flanked by striking rosettes and superb topie shaped reeded and acorn finials. Above is the elegantly shaped Rouge Griotte marble planter raised by a socle shaped patinated bronze pedestal support with exceptional scrolled handles leading up each side with acanthus leaves, finely detailed lion heads connected by reeded garland, and foliate wrap around bands centering the finished interior.

    19th century, French bronze planter or Gueridon Measures: cm W 56 x maximum diameter 51 x H 90. H on the floor of the wide 81 cm This refined planter was made in France towards the end of the nineteenth century in the style of «Retour d'Egypte». It consists of a tripod structure in finely chiselled gilded bronze and lacquered in tones. Each leg originates with scroll decorations and phytomorphic elements with golden details, supported by a sphinx with hairstyle, tail and golden wings. This sits on a curvilinear and wavy element decorated with golden ramage and a man’s head with a long beard of classic taste. The legs end with an injured foot and rest on a tripartite base that connects them. In the middle of each leg there is a bronze junction with curls and volutes that converges towards the others in the center, where a vertical element contributes to the momentum and gracefulness of the whole. The basin of the planter is in lacquered tin, with gold edges and reserves. The rising part of the tub has some holes that allow the breathability of the space. This tripod is inspired, with variations, to a famous model of the brothers Luigi and Antonio Manfredini, active in Milan at the beginning of the nineteenth century, financed by the viceroy of Italy Eugenio de Beauharnais, adopted son of Napoleon Bonaparte, for the opening of the real manufacture of Eugenia. The Retour d'Egypte style was widely echoed in France and Europe and originated from General Bonaparte’s military campaign in Egypt in 1799. The fashion of the Egyptians had already in Italy found a previous interpreter in the engraver Giovan Battista Piranesi, but the vast diffusion that also had in the furniture the Egyptian ornament...
