Porcelaine de Paris - Double handled vase (2) - Medici - Porcelain - Charles X period

Pair of Antique French Empire / Restoration Period Vieux Paris Porcelain Vases (c. 1810–1830)


An exceptional and highly decorative pair of French porcelain baluster-shaped mantel vases, dating from the early 19th century (Empire / Charles X Restoration era), crafted in the style of Porcelaine de Paris (Vieux Paris).

Each vase is beautifully adorned with a large, finely hand-painted central reserve depicting an idyllic, animated riverside landscape, complete with architectural elements, lush trees, and classical figures. The vases are further distinguished by their elaborate, openwork neoclassical scroll handles terminating in finely detailed relief molded masks (mascarons). Each sits upon a multi-tiered circular pedestal stem resting on a substantial, square faux-marbled or gilded plinth base.

Excellent condition with minor, age-appropriate wear to the gilt surfaces. No chips, cracks, or restorations detected. Good condition with expected rubbing to the gold leaf on the handles and rims.
