Large neo-Gothic-style bowl in chiseled and gilded bronze, decorated with foliage and palmettes, resting on an openwork tripod base. The interior is made of metal, while the exterior is blue enamel. Placide Poussielgue-Rusand Workshop, second half of the 19th century, gilded bronze This flower basket, crafted by the Placide Poussielgue-Rusand workshop, perfectly illustrates the Neo-Gothic style then in vogue in the decorative arts and liturgical furnishings. Based on candlestick base No. 545 and flower basket No. 2142 from the workshop’s catalog, it exemplifies the modular composition principle developed by the workshop, which allowed for the combination of various decorative elements to create refined and varied ornamental objects. The openwork bowl features a flared shape resting on an elegant central pedestal. Its decoration consists of a network of trefoil arcades and flamboyant motifs inspired by medieval Gothic architecture. The upper border unfolds into a spectacular crown of cut-out fleurons evoking the ridges of a reliquary or an altar finial. The openwork reveals a deep blue background. The intricately crafted tripod base features a floral design of vine tendrils, grape clusters, and stylized foliage—motifs frequently used in religious ornamentation for their Eucharistic symbolism. Dimensions: 28 x 39 x 26 cm In very good overall condition. Expert: Mr. Gaël FAVIER
