About the Item
Pair of Napoleon III Aesthetic Ormolu Naturalistic Lizard Compotes/Tazza—in the Style of Christofle France, Circa 1875
This exquisite pair of Napoleon III period ormolu compotes (tazza) is made in the distinguished style of Christofle, renowned for its exceptional gilded metalwork and intricate naturalistic motifs. Embodying the elegance and innovation of the Aesthetic Movement, each compote features a circular, scalloped dish with a finely textured surface that mimics organic forms, reminiscent of Christofle’s nature-inspired designs.
The bases are adorned with exquisitely sculpted lizards, delicately intertwined with foliage and naturalistic elements, creating a lifelike, dynamic composition. The rich ormolu finish, characteristic of Christofle’s superior craftsmanship, adds a luxurious brilliance, emphasizing the intricate details.
Measuring 5 inches high with a 6-inch diameter dish, each piece rests on a 3.5-inch diameter base, making them ideal as decorative centerpieces, dessert servers, or collectors’ objets d’art. While unmarked, these compotes exhibit the refined artistry and exceptional detailing associated with Christofle's 19th-century works.
A stunning example of French Napoleon III-era metalwork, these tazzas are a rare find for collectors of ormolu objects and Aesthetic Movement works.
Standing 5-inches high x 6-inch diameter
Base has a 3.5-inch diameter.
