Centerpiece in bronze and glass. Lost-wax bronze casting. It has a cup shape, with a base made of four bamboo canes joined by a cord and decorated with flowers and leaves, a clear glass container, and two handles with leaves curved inwards. While the shape corresponds to a very old prototype of centerpieces, the prominence of the plants and the presence of bamboo bring the work closer to more recent approaches related to Romanticism and the 19th century.

Bronze sculpture. “Girl with goat”. Inspired by models by Affortunato Gory (1895-1925). Lost-wax casting. Marble base. The young woman sits with her legs stretched out in front of her, reaching up to grasp the goat's horns, which appear poised to fight.

A bronze figure on a circular base depicts a humbly dressed child holding a teapot and raising his hand to his mouth as if to shout or hawk his wares or services. The piece is reminiscent of European works (France, Vienna, etc.) from the late 19th or early 20th century, both in the material chosen and in the sculpture's subject matter, size, composition, and level of detail. The inscription on the base (P. Dubois) refers to the sculptor Paul Dubois (France, 1829-1905), whose works inspired this sculpture (especially one in particular, very similar to this one).

Bronze tabletop mirror frame. Inspired by Art Nouveau designs (ca. 1900). While the interior shape, very similar to a heraldic shield, links to academic prototypes, the prominence of the stems that form the outer profile of the frame, the curved lines they draw, the flowers and the interlaced finish (which remotely resembles the Celtic) speak of influences from models derived from Art Nouveau, a style characteristic of around 1900 and also known as "Modern Style".
