AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant matching pair of neoclassical Empire-style porcelain vases, probably French, dating from the first half of the 19th century.
The vases have a rich ruby-red ground with extensive gilt decoration and finely painted polychrome classical figural scenes set within large gilt-framed reserves. Each vase is decorated with different classical female figures in an idealised landscape.
A particularly striking feature is the pair of sculptural gilt figural handles on each vase, together with neoclassical gilt ornaments and trophy motifs.
Both vases are mounted on square red-veined marble plinths and secured through the base with a central metal fitting.
Material: Porcelain with gilt and polychrome decoration; red-veined marble bases.
Period: Estimated 1800–1850.
Origin: Probably France / Paris porcelain tradition.
Maker: Unmarked; no attribution to a specific manufactory.
Dimensions: Approx. 30 cm high × 17 cm wide each.
Condition: Good antique condition with age-related wear, particularly to parts of the gilding. Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form an integral part of the condition description.
Quantity: Matching pair – 2 vases.
The combination of ruby-red ground, extensive gilding, classical figural painting, sculptural handles and marble plinths is characteristic of the neoclassical Empire/Restauration aesthetic of the early 19th century.
The pair will be carefully and securely packed for shipment.
