A beautiful antique display cloche with an unusual ovoid shape, hand-aged character, and its original wooden base. The glass retains the old paper lining around its lower edge, a detail I especially love because it leaves no question that this piece has some age behind it.
The tall proportions give you plenty of room for displaying a favorite object while the rectangular footprint makes it especially easy to work into a shelf, console, or tabletop.
Measurements
15.5" overall height
Base: 10" W × 7.5" D
Glass opening: approximately 8 5/8" W × 6.25" D
Why I Love It
Unusual ovoid-shaped glass dome
Original wooden base with small bun feet
Retains its old paper lining around the bottom edge of the glass
Generous height without the oversized footprint of a larger cloche
One of those pieces that makes almost anything placed beneath it feel more important
Shown styled with our alabaster Jesus bust, available separately.
Condition
Fantastic antique condition with age-appropriate wear
Glass shows the subtle irregularities and character expected of older glass
Wooden base shows surface wear, scuffs and losses consistent with age
Small hole in the center of the wooden base, likely from a previous display or mounting
One foot sits slightly unevenly; a small felt furniture pad underneath would easily stabilize it
