About the Item

A refined Charles X period opaline glass jewelry stand mounted with finely chased gilt bronze. Dating from circa 1825, this exquisite piece captures the delicate elegance of early 19th-century French decorative art. The opaline glass shimmers with ethereal iridescence, its surface revealing soft milky tones and subtle blue and pink reflections — reminiscent of the fleeting beauty of a soap bubble. The turned stem, luminous and perfectly balanced, rises from a circular gilt bronze base enriched with intricate vine motifs. The rim is adorned with a finely textured gilt border, enhancing the opaline’s pearly transparency with a warm golden glow. Originally conceived as a small compote or jewelry holder, it exemplifies the sophistication and romantic sensibility of the Charles X era. A rare and poetic object, capturing in glass the charm and delicacy of a moment suspended in light.
