Pierre Gouthière (1732-1813), a renowned French metalworker known for his gilded bronze (ormolu) mounts, or possibly in the style of Louis XIV or Louis XVI period designs. The use of Verde Antico marble, combined with the ornate bronze detailing featuring a satyr-like face and wreath motifs, aligns with the opulent French decorative arts of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
