About the Item

French 19th century handcrafted bridal, wedding, or marriage dome on stand. The uniquely 19th century (Victorian period) tradition of a “globe de Mariée” involved a glass cloche or dome for newlywed couples to display and preserve mementos from their wedding and representations of their life together. Each example would have special and very personal meaning to the couple, such as flowers from the wedding bouquet, locks of hair from their children, and jewelery. At center is a red, tufted velvet seat surrounded by a gilt-metal garland of leaves on which a bird carrying a wreath is perched. Behind is a small mirror handpainted with little daisies plus two small mirrors on either side and below. This unique dome is a fascinating piece of history on its own, with space to create new memories in your home. Please view the detailed images to see more.
