Description
This elegant pair of vintage Maison Charles brass garnitures, standing at an impressive 17 inches tall, showcases the refined craftsmanship and botanical inspiration characteristic of the mid-century French design house. Each piece features a meticulously cast pinecone motif, with tiered, overlapping scales that create a sculptural sense of depth and texture, topped with a delicate finial. The weathered brass patina adds a warm, authentic character, highlighting the intricate details of the foliage. The central stem is supported by a sleek, waisted pedestal that transitions into a substantial, multi-tiered square plinth base, providing a balanced and architectural foundation. These sophisticated accents embody a blend of Neoclassical structure and Hollywood Regency flair, making them a striking addition to a formal mantel, console, or curated tabletop display.
