Antique French Bronze Ormolu Pediments bathroom ladder with an attached lidFive antique ormolu brass pediments with a lovely timeworn patina. Ormolu is a gold coloured alloy of copper, zinc, and tin used in decoration and making ornaments. These beautiful pediments may have been used as decorative pieces in furniture and mirrors in the late 18th century, in grand homes and chateaus. If the furniture was damaged, these pieces were often removed and kept or used elsewhere. They are quite heavy. I have priced them individually.
