The centerpiece is raised on an oval marble mottled base below the Ormolu support with patinated cabochons and a handsome open winged dragon supporting the patinated bronze bowl above in the shape of a nautical ship. The bow of the ship is decorated with an open winged maiden with her hands extended out while at the stern is Zephyrus, the Greek god of the west wind, blowing the wind so the vessel moves forward. Wonderful and intricate attention to detail throughout.

Centerpiece "The Naiad", attributed to G. Denière, France, circa 1870

By Guillaume Denière

Located in PARIS, FR

Exceptional centerpiece in silvered and gilded bronze, composed of a naiad riding a dolphin, supporting a chiseled shell decorated with reeds, adorned with the head of a river god on its bow and on which a winged love blows in a conch. The whole rests on a pedestal decorated with dolphin heads and cut-out leathers, ending with a porphyry base with molded steps. Historical and artistic context Centers and naves of tables are attested in France from the Middle Ages in order to present spices and other condiments brought from distant lands around the Mediterranean or from the trade of the Silk Roads. The importance of their presence on prestigious tables will be confirmed throughout the decorative arts, evolving during the 19th century in centerpieces, becoming a central element of decoration. Here we find a true virtuosity in the composition and representation of the human figure which is reminiscent of the greatest artists of the Italian Renaissance. Indeed, the fluidity of the lines of the naiad can be compared to the nymph of Fontainebleau by Benvenuto Cellini preserved at the Louvre museum and dated 1545, while the naturalist representation of the marine setting refers to the work of Wenzel Jamnitzer...
