Presenting an extraordinary pair of authentic 19th-century Sèvres porcelain vases, richly decorated and mounted in elaborate ormolu bronze. These museum-grade pieces exemplify the height of French luxury craftsmanship, blending masterful porcelain painting with opulent bronze artistry. Rare to find as an intact pair with lids, these vases embody the refined aesthetic admired by European nobility during the late 1800s.
Each vase showcases a beautifully hand-painted central scene, executed with the precision and luminous palette for which Sèvres is renowned. Depictions include romantic allegorical figures, cherubs, and floral flourishes, framed by delicate gilt accents and ornamental jeweled-style motifs.
The ormolu bronze mounts are equally impressive, displaying:
Sculpted satyr-mask handles
Ornate rocaille leaf scrolls
A raised, architectural base
Gilded finials crowning the porcelain lids
Together, these elements evoke the elegance of the French Second Empire and the earlier Louis XVI revival style.
Most importantly, each vase bears authentic Sèvres marks or artist signatures, confirming origin and decorative quality.
High-fired porcelain with exceptional smoothness and color depth, consistent with late 19th-century Sèvres production.
Cast in fine detail, gilded, and aged to a beautiful warm patina. The bronze mounting enhances the stature and prominence of the vases.
Romantic cherubs
Classical figures
Fine garden and sky backdrops
Raised gold detailing and enamel “jewel” accents
Executed with impressive symmetry, confidence, and glowing coloration.
A rare and desirable feature for Sèvres mounted vases, both porcelain lids are topped with ornate bronze finials.
