Refined Parisian in mercury-gilt bronze.
The figure on the right is a winged Cupid and in this case expresses the allegory of abundance and fertility.
It is in fact possible to recognize various elements that refer to this imagery such as the tools for working and cultivating the land: the spade, the rake and a small plough.
On the top there is a double-handled vase from which abundant flowers emerge and a cornucopia symbol of abundance.
The base is enriched with festoons and plant shoots.
Turned feet.
Note the great quality of the chiselling and the perfect state of conservation of the mercury gilding.
Original mechanics with wire suspension overhauled.
France, First Empire era (early 19th century).
The dimensions are: 30 x 11 height 43 cm.
