Beautiful, large, bronze centrepiece featuring 3 putti holding a “horn of plenty “ French circa 1860.

A stunning and highly decorative French centrepiece, circa 1860. This exquisite work of art features three playful putti—cherubic figures of children—beautifully detailed with lifelike expressions and flowing, graceful forms. They are depicted holding aloft a “horn of plenty” (cornucopia), symbolising abundance and prosperity, its intricately textured surface overflowing with fruits and flowers. The composition balances elegance with a sense of movement, as the putti interact naturally with one another, giving the piece a lively, almost whimsical character.

Its generous scale makes it a commanding focal point for a grand dining table or display, while the warm patina highlights the exquisite modelling of each figure and ornamental detail. This centrepiece exemplifies the refinement and decorative exuberance of mid-19th century French decorative arts, combining classical motifs with the charm of Rococo-inspired playfulness.
