Modeled in glazed Majolica pottery, the piece features a cherubic putto cradling a vine laden with fruit, surrounded by garlands and classical scrollwork. The lustrous mustard-yellow glaze enhances its sculptural presence, highlighting the fine craftsmanship typical of early 20th-century Italian ceramics.

Its ornate design makes it ideal as a wall shelf, architectural accent, or standalone objet d’art. Whether displayed indoors or outdoors, it commands attention and adds a touch of opulence to any setting, from a curated interior to a lush garden terrace.

Signed by an unknown artist, the piece remains in remarkable condition—free of chips or cracks, with some age-related crazing—attesting to its superb preservation. This majestic bracket is a celebration of classical elegance and whimsical charm, perfectly suited for sophisticated spaces from Palm Beach to Provence.
