Modeled after EUGÉNE CORNU (1827- 1875); France, c. 1890. Centerpiece. Algerian onyx, agate and bronze. One of the angels does not have a stable support. Measurements: 32,5 x 29 x 29 cm. Centerpiece made of agate, Algerian onyx and gilded bronze. The round foot of agate and defined by a bronze chain in the lower and upper zone, gives way to the base of onyx of Algeria, zone that sustains the shaft of the cup where two small angels of round bulk made in bronze are arranged. The piece has bronze appliques on the shaft as leaves and finally ends in the agate cup carved with gadroons. The piece follows the models of Louis-François-Eugène Cornu, designer and manufacturer of bronze. In 1858, after working as a draughtsman and directing works for Maison Tahan, he became creator and director of the Compagnie des Marbres et Onyx d'Algérie of A. Pallu & Co and then of his successor G. Viot. This company specialized in the manufacture of luxury items combining bronze, Algerian onyx-marble and champlevé enamel. Cornu's creations were exhibited at the London Universal Exhibitions of 1862, 1871 and 1872, and in Paris in 1867, where he was awarded a gold medal for a large pair of onyx, bronze and enamel vases. The Compagnie des Marbres et Onyx d'Algérie also produced objects based on designs by Albert Carrier-Belleuse, Charles Cordier and Louis-Alfred Barrias. In 1878, its stores were located at 24 Boulevard des Italiens in Paris. One of the angels does not have a stable hold.
