19th Century Silvered Ormolu Footed Stylized Shell Bowl by Les Freres

About the Item

This elegant stylized shell bowl was realized by the illustrious atelier of Les Freres in France during the 19th century. It offers a stylized silvered ormolu footed base with abstract swirling forms suggestive of troubled sea waters and waves crashing onto shore. These silver wave-like forms curl around the channeled and frosted stylized scallop shell bowl with a concave center, supporting it. With its beautiful attention to detail and superlative construction, this piece embodies the qualities that discerning collectors of French classical design (and great design, in general) absolutely adore. Its monochromatic palate and clean modernist lines make this piece as versatile as it is aesthetically compelling, blending perfectly with any style of interior from traditional to contemporary. It is in excellent vintage condition. France, 19th century Dimensions: Height: 8" x Width: 11" x Depth: 10".
