Description
22" (56 cm.) Arranged upon an ebony wooden base under a blown glass dome is an elaborate arrangement of gilded metal symbols, bisque flowers and 11 mirrors, centering a tufted rose velvet cushion upon which is displayed a wax orange blossom bridal coronet. The symbols include ivy leaves, oak leaves, dove of harmony, crown, daisies, and others. The 19th century French tradition served to preserve the bride's wedding coronet and symbolize a newly married couple's hopes for the future. An exceptional example with great luxury detail. Circa 1885.
