Second Empire Round Tableau - Alpine Oil Scene, Mirrored Ring & Cherubs
Design & Inspiration
A grand round tableau in the Second Empire taste: an oval alpine oil scene — peaks, pines and a rushing stream — encircled by a ring of true mirror, so the landscape floats in light. The cream frame carries gilt acanthus scrolls and a crowned cartouche crest, while below, two gilded cherubs flank a garlanded mask.
Materials & Craftsmanship
The circular chassis is wood with resin-cast ornament, painted soft cream and gilded by hand; the mirror ring is cut and set in segments around the central canvas.
