Beth Carter; The Innocents Group; Bronze; Edition 3 of 10 sub-Mirrors & Lighting 5”The rare Denham massacre cameo

5”The rare Denham massacre cameo embossed memorial card having mourning decoration featuring vines

There is certainly an oriental influence here with Chinese bronze examples of jardinières in antiquity having similar handles as this piece that feature the elephant masks and rings

signify loyalty to the "bewitching" one

The cast iron base still adjusts with the turning nut

This beautiful chair shows a lived in and consistent amount of wear to its surface both to the mahogany and leather
