Interesting sponge ball in bronze and solid brass from the early 19th century.
The support has curved moldings and rests on 3 lugs.
The bowl is supported by a typically Louis XIV turned baluster column
The lid works with a beautiful hinge
It is dome-shaped with an acorn-shaped bronze fretel
This lid has been hand-drilled, the openings are slightly different from one another
The holes are forged
This sponge ball has all the similarities of a piece made in the early 18th century, but I prefer to date it from the early 19th century.
Very good overall condition
Some slight deformations around the base due to use
h: 24.4 cm
d to base: 13.9 cm
d inside ball: 9.4 cm
