"Rare Horticultural Trophy In Silver Bronze By François-désiré Froment-meurice."
Rare agricultural trophy in silvered bronze by François-Désiré Froment-Meurice. Offered during the 1882 floral games in Forcalquier by the deputy for Basses-Alpes, Oswald Bouteille. The inspiration for this model can be compared (without much doubt) to the table top of the Duc de Luynes made between 1849 and 1854 kept at the Louvre Museum.
