{"product_id":"french-gilt-bronze-garland-mount-louis-xvi-style-1900","title":"Antique French Gilt Bronze Garland Salvage","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eA beautifully cast gilt bronze mount in the Louis XVI taste, formed as a swagged garland of fruit and flowers suspended between two ribbon-tied bows. The garland is dense with sculptural detail, with roses, grape clusters, berries, and small blossoms layered along the entire length and hand-chased to sharpen the petals and fruit after casting. The piece is fully dimensional, sculpted on both faces rather than flat-backed, which suggests it was originally mounted to a curved or freestanding surface such as a mantel clock case, mirror crest, or furniture pediment. Sourced as salvage in France.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Type | Decorative Mount or likely a furniture handle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Material | Gilt cast bronze\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Origin | France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Age | Circa 1880 to 1920, Louis XVI Revival\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Style | Louis XVI, Neoclassical\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Size | 6 in W x 5 in H x 1 in D\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Weight | 6 oz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Motif | Floral and fruit garland with ribbon-tied bow terminals\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Hardware | Two original mounting holes at the reverse of each bow\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[condition]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe mount is structurally sound with no breaks, repairs, or replacements. The casting is crisp throughout and the floral detail remains well defined across the garland and bows. The gilt finish shows light wear consistent with age, with some minor losses on the highest points where handling would have rubbed the surface over time. Greenish patina has developed in the recesses of the garland, particularly along the underside, which is age-appropriate and adds character. The piece is sculpted in the round rather than flat-backed, so it presents well from multiple angles. The two original mounting holes are present at the rear of each bow terminal. No marks, signatures, or foundry stamps are present.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51314909217046,"sku":"AMD-03039","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/LaBelleBrocante-679.jpg?v=1778807378","url":"https:\/\/austynmariedesign.com\/products\/french-gilt-bronze-garland-mount-louis-xvi-style-1900","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
