"Bridal Globe With Orange Blossom Crown, Napoleon III Period, 19th Century"
Very pretty bridal globe with harmonious quadrangular proportions, containing within it a bridal crown composed of wax orange blossoms, symbol of purity and beauty, resting on a weighted cushion covered in purple velvet and decorated with gold thread trimmings. The domed glass in perfect condition rests on a blackened wooden base as was the fashion under the Third Empire.
