Pair Of Peach Blossom Marble Vases, Neoclassical Period, Late 18th Century
Elegant pair of baluster vases in peach blossom marble, resting on a pedestal and a molded square base. The flared neck, topped with a wide lip, emphasizes the purity of the lines inherited from Antiquity and reinterpreted in the neoclassical taste. Peach blossom marble, prized since the 18th century for its nuanced polychromy of reds, pinks, greens and whites, gives these pieces an exceptional decorative presence. The liveliness of the veining, combined with the sobriety of the form, perfectly illustrates the neoclassical aesthetic, where the balance and nobility of the materials predominate. Intended to adorn a fireplace, a console or a large reception room, these vases bear witness to the refined art of marble workers at the end of the 18th century.
