Pair of Napoleon III scrolling foliate ormolu surtouts de table French, c.1870 Measures: Height 14cm, diameter 66cm These beautiful pieces are a pair of gilt-bronze surtouts de table centrepieces, dating from the third quarter of the nineteenth century. Featuring a circular outline in bronze above a large wide mirrored surface in the centre of each, they consist of a gallery around the glass, which is cast with pierced scrolling foliage.
