Centrepiece; Russian work, circa 1850. Silver. With St. Petersburg marks. Measurements: 49 x 33 cm (diameter). Centrepiece made entirely in silver, conceived in an elevated manner. The piece is supported on a base of fluid lines where the legs have a design inspired by vegetation. The base is decorated with a play of ornamentation that combines various decorative elements in relief with an openwork design. The neoclassical style shaft has been conceived in a sculptural manner, as a composition can be seen in which three little love handles placed on a pedestal support the upper part of the shaft, following a completely dynamic and moving composition, as the artist emphasises the twisting of the bodies and the expression of the gestures. Finally, the piece is finished off with the centre itself, which is based on a rounded base and a very fluid body where the flowing lines merge with the openwork structure of the body.

Estim. 150 - 200 EUR
