A wonderful, very large 40cm! Crystal gazing ball and stand, adorned with the most beautiful winged putto. The cherub is reminiscent of an Atlas figures, holding the weight of the ball on their back. The base of the stand is well rubbed silver plate on brass.
It is marked for exceptional maker Mappin & Webb, and was retailed by Lyons (of Lyons cake fame, founded 1884). The ball is a later addition as it is fairly smooth whereas very early ones are rippled. It nestles perfectly in the stand. Its huge at around 20cm alone!
These are very rare things and becoming so far to find, so do not miss out. This is a stunning, show stopping, unusual example. The perfect centerpiece on a gypsy table, or addition to your wunderkammer. A great piece for any interior.
