About the Item

Late 19th century Christofle Rococo Revival silvered metal decorative centerpiece of reclining child with Baccarat cut crystal compote bowls, France By: Baccarat, Christofle Material: silver, silver plate, metal, bronze, copper, crystal, glass, cut glass Technique: cast, molded, polished, metalwork, silvered, plated, pressed, hand-crafted. etched Dimensions: 12.5 in x 16.5 in x 19.5 in Date: late 19th century, circa 1880 Style: Rococo Revival, Neoclassicism, Belle Époque Place of origin: France Baccarat and Christofle are two iconic names in the world of luxury décor. Since 1764, Baccarat has been synonymous with masterfully crafted crystal, producing glassware and chandeliers that have graced royal palaces and sophisticated interiors across the globe. Christofle, founded in 1830, has led the way in silversmithing and fine tableware, known for its technical innovation and meticulous attention to detail. Together, these maisons embody the height of French elegance and craftsmanship. This Rococo Revival centerpiece from the late 19th century showcases the opulence and intricate artistry associated with both houses. The silvered metal base, cast in solid form, features a reclining child within a gazebo-like structure, surrounded by finely rendered floral and vegetal motifs. The child gestures skyward, infusing the composition with a sense of narrative movement and charm. Resting atop the base is a cut crystal compote bowl—both decorative and functional. The structure is balanced on four sculpted feet. Beneath one of the legs, the Christofle hallmark confirms its authenticity. Owning such a piece is to hold a fragment of decorative history, where form and function intersected in the service of beauty. This centerpiece is not merely ornamental; it is a statement object, emblematic of the storied heritage of French decorative arts. For the discerning collector, it offers a rare opportunity to acquire an artifact that exemplifies timeless design and artisanal excellence.
