About This Piece
A pair of gilded bronze (ormolu) wreaths featuring cornucopias joined by ribbons, with further decoration of laurel and oak leaves with berries. The pair most likely adorned a large piece of French furniture from the late 19th century. Beautiful embellishments from the past, ready to be repurposed today — as decorative wall mounts, furniture accents, or display objects in their own right.
The two wreaths are identical and display a distinguished time-worn patina.
