Bowl made of agate and gilded silver, with stones. 19th century.

Neo-Renaissance is a kind of eclecticism, third quarter of the 19th century. Implies borrowing style samples from the Italian civil architecture of the Renaissance. The palazzo with the invariable diamond rustic, organizing rhythm of arches, castle abstraction and austere grandeur - served as the architectural basis for the tenement houses and public buildings of the period. Several heavy massifs of wood, pilasters and columns, mascarons shaped the furniture and interiors of the 1850s and 60s. The French late Renaissance as a national school became the platform for stylizing the second empire. High mansard roofs, curved roof caps, currencies - migrated from the chateau and castles of the 17th century to the streets of Paris, from where they parted with Napoleon III in the towns and villages of the planet. The noble universe of rebirth gave man a sense of dignity and the opportunity to rise above the prose of reality.
