Boulle with ancient winged putto

Mirabilia – Germany – Empire Period – Early 19th century – Crystal, brass, mother-of-pearl and white coral.

Never seen before object, truly from Cabinet de curiositè: crystal sphere edged in brass with a ring on the top that makes it hangable.

But the real rarity is what is inside: a perforated and worked mother-of-pearl background, unfortunately with a rear thread and a winged cherub's face in white coral.

Germany, early 1800s, Empire Period.

We do not know the use nor do we know the history of this antiquity, but we can assure you that we have never found anything similar.
