Large English or Dutch bronze brazier or vase from the 17th-18th century

Descriptio Large oval copper bowl mounted on four bronze legs shaped like lion’s claws, late 17th century – The bowl is made of hand-hammered copper and features a wide, elegantly finished, wavy rim. The firmly riveted and molded legs display realistic modeling characteristic of 19th-century ornamental productions, inspired by the Empire style or the late Louis XVI style. The interior shows signs of use and hammering, while the leg rivets are visible on the underside, consistent with the artisanal manufacturing methods of the period. Beautiful original patina. The combination of fine and decorative materials suggests a piece intended for reception tables, which could also be used as a bottle cooler or a large centerpiece. 28 x 58 x 52 cm. Lot in international warehouse (within the EU). Intra-EU shipping: no import duties apply within the EU. An export permit from the country of origin may be required.
