Description

Gerorge III Putti Lead c.1780A beautiful example of a George III lead. c. 1780 Decorated with a frieze of dancing and frolicking Putti linking hands through garlands and wreaths. This wonderful early piece would make a stunning spring planter imagine it filled with crocus, tulips and snowdrops. Alternatively this would make the most wonderful bowl for a garden fountain. The Classical representation of dancing Putti can be found in art and architecture from the Roman period
