19th Century, French Empire Gilt Bronze Centrepiece

About the Item

19th Century, French Empire Gilt Bronze Centrepiece This refined centerpiece stand was crafted in France in the early 19th century, during the Empire period, from finely chiselled and gilded bronze. The base, with six iron feet, hexagonal in section with concave sides, is decorated with palmette motifs. Above it, three figures of swans with open wings support a plate, interspersed with phytomorphic decorative elements. The central part of the stand consists of a fluted vertical element around which three female figures dance, connected at the top by ornate garlands. The three young women can be identified as the Three Graces (Aglaia, Euphrosyne, and Thalia), daughters of Zeus and the nymph Eurymone in Roman mythology. Personifying beauty and feminine grace, they symbolize splendor, joy, and prosperity. Here, they are depicted in ancient-style clothing, each distinct from the other, accompanied by a vase full of fruit, vines adorning their hair, and small flowers. Their dancing posture, on tiptoe with arms raised, adds movement and lightness to the whole composition. The central column and the three figures support the upper part of the stand, which is composed of a band adorned with bas-reliefs of vine tendrils and a pierced basket made of phytomorphic elements and scrolls. The entire centerpiece has a graceful and luminous composition, highly decorative and elegant. Easily placed as a flower or fruit centerpiece on tables, side tables, columns, commodes, gueridons, and consoles, it can be paired with both antique and modern furnishings.
