Empire tazza in fire-gilt bronze, marble and glass – France, early 19th century

An impressive Empire centrepiece or tazza, more than two hundred years old, made of fire-gilt bronze, green-veined marble and original glass. Around the glass bowl, raised on small columns, are beautiful horses with a warrior and mythological figures with harp and triangle.

The glass is old and original and has a few small chips on the rim and scratches on the inside, as can be expected after all these years (see the photos).
