About the Item
Large Rococo style ormolu and marble pedestal after Caffieri
French, Late 19th Century
Height 136cm, width 65cm, depth 41cm
This exquisite antique pedestal is inspired by the designs of Jacques Caffieri (1732–1806), a famous French sculptor celebrated for his exceptional bronze artistry. Among his most famous works is the Passemant astronomical clock, crafted in collaboration with other master artisans and presented to King Louis XV in 1753. Referred to as 'un miracle de science', this extraordinary creation became a hallmark of 18th century craftsmanship, influencing numerous 19th century cabinetmakers. During this period, skilled ébénistes reinterpreted historical designs, skilfully blending tradition with contemporary refinement - an approach exemplified in this remarkable pedestal.
Generous in scale, the stand is crowned with a striking, grey-veined marble top, lending both elegance and durability. Below, the ormolu framework is intricately adorned with scrolling floral motifs, acanthus leaves, and delicate ribbon details, all meticulously cast to create a sense of movement and depth. The lower section features a bold acanthus-apron embellishment, while an ornately designed stretcher reinforces the structure, adding stability and visual harmony.
The pedestals rests on four gracefully curved cabriole legs, each adorned with finely sculpted cartouches depicting allegorical representations of Spring and Summer - a tribute to classical themes often found in 18th century French decorative arts.
Masterfully crafted and richly detailed, this superb stand is a statement piece, ideal for displaying prized decorative objects in both classic and contemporary interiors.
