Napoleon III devotional religious dome with an “old Paris” porcelain statue of Madonna and child surrounded by an arch of silk flowers c.1860. The orange tree silk flowers in this dome would have been chosen as a symbol of virginity. This ornamental dome would then be displayed in a public part of the house.
