The bombe-shaped form is accentuated by garlanded swags and scrolling corner mounts. Original metal liner intact and included. The interior has been adapted for display, here holding a life-like orchid arrangement, though equally suited for fresh florals or as a decorative centerpiece. An object of both beauty and history, ready to anchor a room with its quiet opulence.

Tastefully restored with gentle surface wear and patina consistent with age, the bronze retains its character, and the wood shows the depth of grain only time can impart. See less
