The upper rim is embellished with a dramatic crown of intertwined oak leaves and acorns, crafted with openwork techniques that lend a sense of organic lightness to the structure. On the sides, two imposing double-scroll handles with leaf decorations frame the vessel, providing both verticality and a Neoclassical silhouette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The central body is supported by a spool-shaped stem connecting the bowl to an equally elaborate circular base. Here, a band decorated with a <em>Greek key<\/em> motif recalls the rigor of the Empire style, while the entire piece rests on elegant zoomorphic feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">French manufacturing, 19th century<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">cm. 40 h<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7372,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"portfolio-types":[43],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/7373"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7373"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7372"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7373"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"portfolio-types","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio-types?post=7373"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
