Important centerpiece stand in finely chased and gilt bronze, cut crystal and malachite inlays. The tripod base with hoof feet supports a tripartite plinth adorned with malachite plaques, on which sit three chained seated hunting dogs. The central baluster stem carries two polylobed cut-crystal dishes decorated with cross-cut and star motifs, embellished at the intermediate level with three fully modelled stag heads and surmounted by a squirrel holding a nut atop a fruit basket.

Russia, late 19th century.

Very good condition.

The combination of malachite — emblematic stone of the Urals, highly prized by the Imperial Court — with high-quality gilt-bronze mounts and cut crystal is characteristic of the luxury decorative objects produced in tsarist Russia in the late 19th century, continuing the celebrated tradition of Russian malachite objets d’art and furnishings for imperial palaces. The abundance of animal motifs (hunting dogs, stags and squirrel) places this piece firmly within the fashionable taste for hunting and nature themes under Alexander III and Nicholas II, when cynégétique ornament became a sought-after symbol of aristocratic lifestyle.
