Created between 1830 and 1904, the design utilizes an ornate, symmetrical pattern of scrolling foliage, cherubs, and a shield. The overall effect is one of extravagance and grandeur, reflecting the artistic tastes of the time. This piece is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
