Two large Renaissance style bronzed metal centrepiece garniture
About the Item
This centrepiece garniture was crafted in the 19th Century in Italy. The two bronzed metal items are identically designed, in an expressive and classically-inspired late Renaissance style.
The items take the form of U-shaped, ship-like vessels, with figures seated on their ends, serving as figureheads. These include a nude, bearded man, who frowns and raises his right arm, while pointing with his left, down below to the keel of the ship. On the other side of each vessel, there sits a defiant-looking nude woman, with a nude child on her lap.
These U-shaped vessels are decorated with symmetrical, scrolling foliage and strapwork. These designs frame central cartouches, which contain sun-burst motifs, with classical masks at their centre.
Mythical figures carry the vessels on their stooped backs. On both items, these include two mermen, who are seated back-to-back. One figure raises his right arm to point up to the man seated above. These figures ride sea monsters across a scrolling, wave-like base. Young, nude boys sit between them on multi-layered clam shells. The group sits on a shaped, oval base, which is edged with dentil mouldings.
These large, bronzed metal vessels will look beautiful placed at the centre of a dining room table, on pedestals, or on a mantelpiece. They will add character and liveliness to an interior.

- Wolfers Freres Neoclassical Large Silver Centrepiece 'tray & flowerbasket'By Wolfers FrèresLocated in Verviers, BEMade of solid silver, both silver pieces are fully marked, 800 silver with the maker's mark. This substantial and beautifully-crafted neoclassical centrepiece was made in the 1920s and will look perfect on a hall/lobby table or in the dining room. The large silver tray is mounted on a wooden base and secured with brackets. The outside rail has a tube border with scallop shells. The polished surface of the silver tray is in very fine condition for its age and gives a good mirror to the light. The design motif is continued on the silver collar which slips over a copper liner. The copper liner-basket is cut to an exact outline and fit so that a floral arrangement can be executed elsewhere and then dropped into position. For convenience, this item comes with a cut crystal vase saint Louis of suitable height and shape which sits inside the copper lining. The crystal vase may be 'associated', it cannot be verified that it was originally supplied with the rest of the set, but it is of the right period and style. The Brussels firm of Wolfers Freres...Category
