Description

The central element of bisque porcelain from the Early 1900s. This triumph of bisque porcelain dates back to the early decades of the 20th century. Bisque porcelain is a special manufacturing technique that gives the surface an opaque and satin finish. This centerpiece depicts Mercury passing his son Bacchus to nymphs in the presence of a goat. It is a mythological scene typical of the style of the era.

Mercury, the messenger of the gods, was tasked with delivering his son Bacchus to the nymphs, goddesses of the forests and waters. Bacchus was a young god of wine and ecstasy, and the nymphs cared for him and taught him the secrets of nature and creativity.

The moment of birth was solemn and joyful: Mercury placed the newborn Bacchus in the loving arms of the Nymphs, who greeted the little one with smiles and caresses. The nymphs cared for him as their own son, teaching him the mysteries of nature and magic.

Bacchus would grow up under the care of the Nymphs, learning from them the wisdom and beauty of nature. Thanks to this precious gift from Mercury, the young god of wine and ecstasy would become one of the most beloved and revered deities of Olympus.

This is a delicate and refined item, perfect for table decoration and creating an elegant atmosphere.

Original antique furniture and accessories can be an excellent idea for interior design. Today, there is a growing number of enthusiasts of high-quality vintage products that possess a distinct character and soul. It is a nod to history, craftsmanship, and the creation of traditional and timeless furniture. There are many different styles in antique furniture, each with its own distinctive features.

Many styles characterize antique furniture, but a few are particularly prominent. Eclectic furniture refers to the 19th century, especially the Biedermeier style. Its early 20th-century variants include neo-Gothic, Gothic, Rococo, Louis Philippe style, and the English Victorian style. By the end of the century, these styles evolved into pseudo-classicism, Renaissance, and Baroque.

Beautiful Empire-style furniture dates from the late 18th to early 19th century. It originated during Napoleon’s reign, characterized by significant similarities and references to Roman and Greek ornamentation.

Neoclassical furniture reflects the Louis XVI style, which also strongly references ancient architecture. Noteworthy are antique products in Rococo and Louis XV styles. The Baroque style, derived from the Portuguese word 'barocco'—meaning an irregularly developed pearl—features highly ornate furniture designed to radiate splendor and play a significant role in luxury. Materials were selectively chosen to emphasize the grandeur of these pieces.

Today, we can see how the Baroque style has greatly influenced modern classical furniture, which often resembles the historic era. The Renaissance style, flourishing in the 15th and 16th centuries, also left a significant mark on furniture design. Renaissance furniture was quite heavy and massive, using brown stains, cornices, sturdy bases, and reliefs. These products were quite distinctive but also introduced new possibilities, such as the construction of credenzas and broadly defined chest furniture. Mythology and ancient themes were also popular, with supports and legs often taking animal forms.

Lion paws, eagle heads—these are common motifs in Renaissance-style furniture. Many global brands now reproduce such pieces, inspired by Italian and French artisans, as a tribute to the history of the most beautiful Renaissance antiques. It is important to remember that furniture production was perceived differently in each country, and each style had its unique character. This is especially important when searching for a luxurious antique that suits your interior.

The most important aspect of stylish antique furniture is originality. Ultimately, this is crucial for buyers, as the market is flooded with fakes. Luxury Products provides documentation confirming the authenticity of each item, matching the description and photos. We also have experts—art appraisers, historians, and specialists from around the world—at your disposal.
