figurant une Renommée soutenant un fût d'où s'échappent quatre bras de lumière en forme de putto ailé couronné d'une bobèche, centrés d'une cassolette flammée ; reposant sur un socle orné de reliefs en applique représentant des chèvres et pampres de vigne, et un lion retenu par l'Amour ; (percés et montés pour l'électricité)
Provenance
Ancienne collection Barbara Piasecka Johnson, sa vente à Paris, Sotheby's, le 15 octobre 2003, lot 19, vendu 53 000 €
Condition
The photograph is not completely accurate : both patina and gilding have a warmer tone and look better in reality.
As said in the catalogue, the gilt-bronze arms are pierced for electricity. Very good condition overall except very few wear on the flat surfaces on the bases. Ready to be displayed.
