About the Item

19th Century French Terracotta Fruit Basket Centerpiece Sculpture Handmade, large, refined terracotta basket centerpiece features intricately crafted fruits. The decorative sculpture, with its rustic charm, adds an ornamental element to a table setting. The tramp l’oeil woven basket is richly garnished with luscious fruits spilling over the edges. The terracotta basket is treated with a rarely used technique of covering the surface with white glaze, which adds a dramatic contrast to this piece. Fruit basket sculptures were popular during the Baroque period in Europe. Condition is very good. Wear commensurate with age and use. Measurements: Diameter 18” x H 14” Weight: approx. 25 lbs.
