Pair of Early 1800s Empire Baccarat Crystal and Bronze Tazza Centerpieces

Product Description

This pair of Empire-style tazza centerpieces showcases a sophisticated blend of finely cast bronze and Baccarat crystal in a striking three-tier structure. Each tazza is grounded by a solid bronze base, supporting tiers of Baccarat crystal bowls adorned with intricate grape vine friezes inspired by classical motifs. These hand etched crystal plates capture and refract light, adding depth and elegance that perfectly complement the bronze framework and highlight the Empire period’s refined aesthetic.

The central bronze structure is adorned with detailed depictions of classical figures engaged in joyous celebration. These intricately cast figures showcase musicians playing period-appropriate instruments like lyres, tambourines, and flutes, evoking a sense of rhythmic harmony and social festivity. The dancers, with graceful, flowing movements, are captured mid-dance, adding dynamism to the design and reflecting the Empire era’s admiration for classical themes and vibrant social gatherings.

Crafted from Baccarat crystal, the centerpiece bowls feature exceptional clarity, reflecting light beautifully and enhancing the detailed bronze work. Dating to the early 1800s, this pair of tazzas embodies Baccarat’s renowned precision and quality, blending artistic refinement with the grandeur typical of the Empire period.
