A large, beautiful, and rare 19th century neoclassical reticulated Meissen centerpiece with open filigree, rams heads, flaming finial, and love bird cartouches. This exquisite Meissen centerpiece was made in arguably the height of Meissen Porcelain production. The sides of the centerpiece are flanked with beautifully hand painted rams heads, connected with one another with floral garlands, each tied with pink bows. Underneath two of the rams heads are cartouches of love birds sitting on tree branches. The centerpiece is decorated in an array of flowers, further enhanced with hand painted pastel blues and pinks. The open filigree work is further adorned in brushed 24-karat gold decoration. Sitting atop the centerpiece is a magnificent flaming finial, which brings another element of magnificence to this already gorgeous piece. The centerpiece sits on four neoclassically designed plinths, adorned in hand painted pastel garlands and 24- karat gilt decoration. With crossed swords marks in underglaze-blue, incised model number 89, various impressed numerals and painters’ numbers. Germany, Circa: 1870.
