Antique French Bronze Stationary Holder
Antique French Gilt / Bronze Stationary Holder, ca. 1880s
(late Napoleon III period, neo-classic style). 10-1/2”H x 7-
5/8”W x 5-1/4”D. A magnificent two slot, footed stationary
holder framed atop by two symmetrical figural dragons on
each side holding a central ornament with a fruit basket
(typical of 18th century style ornamentations). Exceptional
detailing of the ornate pierced decoration and ornate
accents. The bronze patina has developed a rich, mellow
and darker tone then the pictures may reflect. Holds a fair
amount of envelopes, stationary, business cards and
stamps. A fine and useful accessory for your desk or elegant
enough to place in any setting.
