[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 70080, member: 25"]THis thing is about 2 foot high, or a bit under, and the bronze part is standing on a black marble base, and the base looks like the black Belgian limestone used for black marble clocks. Under the detachable lid is a removable gilt brass bowl for something or other. [ATTACH=full]18132[/ATTACH] That's about the actual colour but a spot of flash shows the details a lot better. [ATTACH=full]18133[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]18134[/ATTACH] The insert and inside the lid. [ATTACH=full]18135[/ATTACH] The base, and taken apart. [ATTACH=full]18136[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]18137[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]18138[/ATTACH] And a bit more detail of the scene. [ATTACH=full]18139[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]18140[/ATTACH] I think it is probably 19th C French, but what for? Bronze scrap or blackened treasure? Should I save it for my ashes?[/QUOTE]
