Antique Italian Grand Tour Bronze Classical Centerpiece

A very fine antique original ( over 150 years old gilt gold bronze guaranteed) Italian grand tour classical centerpiece. Having intricate sharply cast coin figurative historical figures around the border with all kinds of Roman scenes in the center. Fantastic detail (first quality original casting of the bronze not a second or later cast) with a tremendous amount of movement in the figures where you can almost feel the ancient situations these figures were in just by viewing this extraordinary centerpiece. Provenance: A prominent NYC collection of antiques that includes Italian micro mosaic, KPM plaque, sevres and meissen porcelain and Bohemian moser art glass.
