These two nautiluses have thus been raised on gilt bronze bases adorned with carnelian. In a Rocaille style faithful to that of the 18th century, two mascarons – whose modeling can be admired – support the shell. Scrolls of acanthus leaves forming the four feet echo the spiral movement of the nautiluses. The set is in excellent condition.<\/p>\n
