Description from the seller

Pair of Antique ‘Vieux Paris’ Porcelain Vases - Romantic Scenes & Heavy Gilding - France, c. 1880


A magnificent and elegant pair of late 19th-century French porcelain ornamental vases, finely crafted in the celebrated 'Vieux Paris' (Old Paris) style.
Each vase features a beautifully hand-painted, detailed polychrome romantic scene on the front, depicting an elegant lady in a vibrant gown strolling through a serene park landscape. The reverse sides are finished in a clean white glaze, characteristic of the period.
The vases are richly decorated with ornate, sculptural handles styled with classical foliage, completely covered in bright gold leaf. The rims and bases are similarly accented with thick, burnished gold trim, providing a striking contrast against the fine white porcelain.
