Pair of Coral Branches from Wunderkammer, Italy, 1870

About the Item

Pair of branches of Mediterranean red coral, 'Corallium Rubrum', mounted on a gilt bronze base. The realization of the bases sees different techniques: the lost wax casting, the hammer and the chisel. The circular base, in painted wood, holds the gilt bronze support in the shape of a vase with floral decorations. At the end of the handles, there are two ram heads. In the center of the vase, a flower decorated holder rises up which welcomes the coral branches. Italy, circa 1870.
