Description
Elegant stand made by the German manufactory Meissen, depicting an exotic scene and datable to the eighteenth century. A palm tree supports a lozenge-shaped recipient with perforated walls partly decorated with polychrome floral motifs. The frame is made of gilded bronze leaves, while around the tree a young man eating a fruit and a monkey in chains are chasing each other; to be noticed are the bright colours of the young man’s dress and of the natural elements represented.
