Decorative ornament - Probabilmente smalto viennese - Austria

Magnificent polychrome enamel plaque on hand-painted copper fired in kiln, depicting the Allegory of Music, mounted in its original gilt bronze easel-style frame finely chased. The work, datable to the last quarter of the 19th century (1880-1900), is a typical example of French Limoges revival intended for the Grand Tour market. Subject: at the center a female figure in red and white dress holds a music score with a fluttering light-blue veil. On the sides two musical cherubs, one with a double trumpet and the other with a lute, at the feet a golden lyre and laurel and rose branches. A scene of great chromatic vivacity on a landscape background. Technique and materials: • Plaque: bulged copper with multicolored vitreous enamel hand-painted in multiple firings • Frame: cast and gilded bronze, Rocaille / Louis XV revival style, with scroll decoration and a central floral cartouche, toe buds. Back with serpentine engraving and an oval seat for the plaque, equipped with a stand and a hanging ring. Checked: disassembled object, support confirmed in copper with enamel (not ceramic/porcelain).
