Description
A Mounted 17th Century Folk Art Brass Bassinoire Cover from France
A mounted folk art brass bassinoire cover, France circa 1600-1700
Price: € 675

This pierced brass decorative element from France was originally the cover of a bassinoire from the 1600s. A bassinoire is a device where hot coals are inserted into a vented receptacle which is passed under sheets, warming a bed before use. These metal vessels would have been affixed to a long pole, allowing a person to use them without fear of burning themselves on the coals.

Our bassinoire cover has a amazing vert de gris patine due to the fact that the previous owner used it as a decorative accessory outside. This piece is beautifully decorated in a wonderful folk art way. In the center you see a head en profile around this you see a bird, a baroque basket with fruit, a flower and a baroque curl .

France around 1600-1700
