Two very fine wedding globes containing bouquets of fruit in papier-mâché. 19th century. From 1850 to 1930, it was customary to preserve wedding bouquets under a globe for the entire duration of the marriage, traditionally ordered by the bride's mother.

For those fortunate enough to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary, the custom was to offer them a basket of fruit. These fruits represented the four seasons. They were chosen to recall the symbols of the union.

The flowers transform into fruits. Marriage produces children.

White grapes symbolise little girls. Black grapes symbolise little boys. The apple symbolises fecundity and love. The peach exorcises evil spirits.

A pair of small jardinières or romantic mini-vases in painted tole with decoration of figures depicting a woman and a man in their costumes. Pastoral scene. 19th century.
