Each pedestal bowl showcases timeless craftsmanship and the allure of antique bronze and brass artistry. This exquisite pair of Italian Empire tazzas from the early 1800s features three finely modelled sphinxes in dark patinated bronze, their poised elegance symbolising wisdom and strength. The sphinxes wear exquisitely detailed mercury-gilded headdresses, a hallmark of Napoleonic-era craftsmanship. Gracefully supporting a wide brass bowl with an overhanging rim boasting a richly Greek key chased border along the edges, a timeless motif of harmony and continuity. The burnished bronze, ormolu and brass create a captivating interplay of tones, adding warmth and sophistication to these versatile centrepieces.
