Below, a little hectic belt is made up of sculpted scrolls on a granite background. This set is supported by a large sculpture representing a “siren” child with a double tail. Poté and joufflu, he holds a bunch of grapes in his left hand and seems to tender her towards his spectator.
This hot seat rests on a wide ground full foot and carved with a large shell in the upper part, scrolls and flowers in the lower part.
A refined and original small piece of furniture.
