Japonism Bronze & Onyx Figural Phoenix Centerpiece/Jardinièr, Attributed Cornu

Product Description

A beautiful French polychrome patinated dore bronze and silvered bronze with Algerian onyx mounted centerpiece, attributed to Eugene Cornu.

The upper lip of the onyx, as well as the base of the centerpiece, are marvelously cast and hand chiseled dore bronze.
Paris, circa 1870.
