This extraordinary large antique Tuscan Empire ormolu mirror plateau centerpiece, dating back to the early 19th century, represents a supreme example of Italian Empire metalwork. Imposing and monumental in its proportions, this circular mirrored plateau or surtout de table features an outer rim masterfully hand-chased in heavy bronze and gilded using the prestigious historic mercury gilding technique. The decorative band is richly adorned with a continuous relief of delicate rosettes, multi-petaled flowers, and classical foliage that beautifully catches the light. The entire structure is elevated by three masterfully sculpted and finely detailed lion paw feet, a signature motif of the Empire style that lends the piece stability, majesty, and architectural presence. What makes this large antique Tuscan Empire ormolu mirror plateau centerpiece uniquely valuable is its exceptional, untouched historical provenance.
