Pair of wall pedestals. Gilt bronze, porcelain. French school, towards the end of the 19th century. A pair of small wall-mounted shelves made of gilt bronze decorated with relief elements of clear classical inspiration (architectural motifs, scrolls, fluted moldings, garlands of roses, ribbons, etc.), following common trends in the 19th-century French school. Each shelf features three glazed porcelain plaques decorated in colors and forms typical of the Sèvres factory (Manufacture nationale de Sèvres): two with a medallion of flowers and a blue border (all four are different), and a larger one in the center with a medallion depicting a female portrait (both are different: one shows a young woman with a frame of gilt flowers; the other shows a lady with her hair covered and a plain gilt frame). Note that the backs of these medallions and plaques are unmarked and have some imperfections not visible on the front. As is typical of this type of decorative piece from the French school, other similar examples exist, varying in the porcelain medallions and the number of porcelain plaques on the bases. Weight: 1.87 kg and 1.86 kg.
