| This solid piece was cast in one piece and is a Roman bronze panther table leg. This piece dates circa 2nd-3rd century A.D. and is approximately 4.5 inches high. This piece was made as a support for a small table, and has an attached flat square upper support column on the top part of the piece. In the middle section of the piece, there is the upper half of a panther's body, and at the base of the piece, there is a round panther paw foot base. The top of this Roman bronze furniture piece is flat, which allowed this piece to support a flat surface such as a small table top. This type of top flat design is normally associated with larger Roman marble examples, and is scarce as a bronze type. The facing panther head has great eye appeal and has an active look. There are also several stylized small round punched circles that are seen in the upper body of the panther, and these represent the spots of the animal. This complete piece has a dark green patina with some spotty light brown deposits, and is in superb condition. This scarce Roman bronze furniture piece is also mounted with clay on a clear plexiglas base, and can easily be removed. Ex: Fortuna Fine Art, New York, New York. Ex: Private New York collection. I certify that this piece is authentic as to date, culture, and condition: | |||||||||||||
