Embossed copper cooling basin with an oval body modulated with elongated lobes, a band under the edge decorated with concave ovoid motifs, and edged, on the upper part, with ovoid lobes. Zoomorphic side handles (ears), in the shape of a lion's head with rings passing between the jaws. Foot of very particular workmanship, also made of embossed copper, decorated with an elegant band of elongated concave ovoids and ending at the base in an engraved cord. Exceptional patina and perfect state of preservation Period: 16th century Measurements: cm 26 X 65.5 x 52 Typical of the Renaissance, basins of this shape were highly decorative furnishings. Always the prerogative of important patrician families, they decorated the sumptuous tables during parties and banquets. The work, like all our other objects, is sold with a certificate of authenticity. We personally take care of and organize the packaging and shipping of the works of art with insurance all over the world In the event that the work is purchased by non-Italian customers, the same will require the certificate of free circulation. The same can be obtained in 10/20 working days. The gallery will take care of the bureaucratic and economic aspects of the matter. All the costs of the operation are therefore included in the price.
