An antique 19th century French gild bronze basin and ewer in the Louis XIII style with beautiful Roman neoclassical repousse designs. The basin serves as a grand stage for the Triumph of Neptune.

The border is decorated with scenes of Tritons and satyr masks. The body of the ewer features a central scene of Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty, accompanied by cherubs. The rest of the body is adorned with foliage and acanthus leaves. It features the high-arched handle, terminating in a sculpted head and a flared neck with a spout, flanked by the mask of Neptune.
