Description from the seller

Large vase covered in polychrome porcelain with gilded bronze mount – Napoleonic III style

Important decorative vase with lid in polychrome porcelain, enriched by rich gold decorations on a ruby/fuchsia background and mount in gilded bronze finely chased.

The ovoid body features a refined romantic scene painted by hand depicting a female figure with cherubs in a bucolic landscape, executed with remarkable attention to detail and delicate colors. The back is decorated with an elegant floral motif, also hand-painted and signed by the decorator.

The vase is completed by imposing scrolling side handles with botanical motifs in gilded bronze and rests on an ornate bronze base finely worked. The lid, decorated in continuity with the vase, is capped by a bronze pinecone-shaped knob.

The overall evokes French production of Napoleonic III taste, inspired by the renowned Sèvres porcelains, and constitutes an important furniture piece of great visual impact.
