Product description
Mythological cup with Tritons - Gilded bronze & marbles, 19th century. An exceptional decorative element. This sculptural bowl from the 19th century embodies the refinement and symbolism of Antiquity. Three gilded bronze tritons, powerful half-man half-fish figures from marine mythology, support a veined Tuscan marble bowl in a solemn, sculptural gesture. Their dynamic, expressive posture, combined with the precision of the chasing, gives the piece a dramatic, almost architectural feel. The tritons rest on a round base in multiple marbles (Mazy black, veined red) supported by three bronze ‘animal claw' feet. These tritons with their double tails and bifid beards could represent hybrid marine divinities, protectors of the deep, older than Triton himself - like personifications of the primordial elements of the sea, halfway between man, sacred monster and forgotten god. This piece is in fine condition, with a few light dents and traces of wear on the rim of the bowl. It could very well be placed in the centre of a table as a presentation dish, or on a desk as an inkwell... Period: 19th Century. Dimensions (H x W x D): 18cm x 21cm x 21 cm. Weight: 3 Kg. Condition: Excellent. Style: Classicism / Napoleon III / Renaissance-Louis XIII. Material: Metal/ Bronze/ Mineral/ Marble. Additional details: - Style: Classicism - Style: Napoleon III - Style: Renaissance-Louis XIII - Material: Gilt Bronze - Colour: Gilt - Period: 19th Century
