Pair Of Vases In Blue Enamel And Gilt Bronze, Louis XV In The Style Of Caffieri
Height: 17.5 cm.
A superb pair of small baluster vases in midnight blue enamel on copper, mounted in finely chased and gilded bronze.
The mounts, with their elegant and flowing design, feature a rocaille decoration typical of the Louis XV style: openwork scrolls, foliate tendrils, and graceful handles ending in graceful volutes.
The harmonious curves of the vases, combined with the depth of the blue enamel flecked with fine glitter, create a sumptuous contrast with the warmth of the gilded bronze.
The bronze work, of remarkable quality, evokes Parisian productions of the mid-18th century, particularly those of Jacques Caffieri or Thomas Germain, master bronze casters renowned for their mounts intended to adorn porcelain and enamels.
These refined vases perfectly illustrate the 18th-century taste for luxury objects that combined technical virtuosity and ornamental elegance.
