A striking example of mid to late 19th century French craftsmanship, this gilt bronze mounted centerpiece combines refined ormolu work with a beautifully executed diamond-cut glass bowl. Designed in an elegant navette form, the crystal bowl is framed by richly cast scrolling branches that extend outward into two side candlestick arms, adding both symmetry and function to the piece. The bronze trestle base is adorned with finely detailed foliate motifs and rests upon a breakfront plinth supported by classic toupie feet, enhancing its stately presence. The harmonious blend of gleaming gilt bronze and heavy cut crystal makes this centerpiece exceptionally versatile—perfect for use as a table centerpiece, floral arrangement display, fruit bowl, or decorative focal point in any room. The piece is in good condition, with minor wear consistent with age and use. It measures approximately 24 inches wide, 19 inches high, and 8.5 inches deep.
