Silver centre-piece in repoussé work; Froment-Meurice. Photographer: Ferrier, Claude-Marie
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Fine Arts, Photography of
Close view of the table centre-piece by Froment-Meurice of Paris, arranged against a dark background: '…The attention of the Jury has been arrested by a centre-piece, representing Ceres, Bacchus, and Venus standing upon the terrestrial globe, which is encircled by the zodiac, and around which fly small figures in relief of the genii of Plenty, Music, and Concord. The globe is supported by male and female snake-footed giants, and rests upon a base decorated with ornaments and foliage. This piece, executed after models by M. Feuchère, is in style and execution such as in the the estimation of the Jury merits a place in the first rank. It is entirely made in repoussé work, with the exception of the figures of the giants. It is sufficiently light to be easily portable; and the mounting is so arranged that the principal portions may be taken asunder with ease, without in any way affecting its solidity.' (p. 1126).
