Abstract
Allegorical figures of music, elegantly dressed in pleated robes, seated in a circular arrangement, with arms raised and holding three musical instruments: a triangle, bells, and a tambourine.
The shaft at the center of the centerpiece is beautifully decorated with motifs of leaves, with acanthus leaves gracefully rolling upwards. The bowl of the centerpiece showcases gadroons and palmette motifs emerging from its center, adding to its artistic allure. The entire bronze piece is supported by a carved wooden base, which is light in color and partially gilded. The base is further enhanced with ball feet, completing the exquisite composition.
