Antique French Gilt Bronze & Cut Crystal Fruit Bowl – Swan & Putti Motif
About the Item
A lovely example of French decorative art, this antique fruit bowl showcases craftsmanship of the late 19th to early 20th century. The centerpiece combines finely cut crystal with richly detailed gilt bronze mounts, blending elegance with classical symbolism.
The clear crystal bowl features deep diamond-cut panels and a radiant starburst base, creating a play of light that enhances its form. It is securely housed in a gilt bronze frame, cast with a beaded rim and neoclassical motifs.
The handles take the shape of gracefully arched swans, forming striking figural embellishments. Below, the bowl is supported by three cherubic putti, each cast in dynamic posture, lifting the piece on their shoulders in a nod to classical allegory. The gilt bronze base rests on a triangular plinth with canted corners, ensuring stability and presence.
