Pair Of Bronze & Cloisonné Enamel Ewers, Napoleon III Period – Mid-19th Century

This pair of gilt bronze and cloisonné enamel ewers is a shining example of decorative refinement during the reign of Napoleon III. Each ewer has a graceful silhouette: a generous body finely decorated with floral motifs in brass complemented by pink and blue enamel, surmounted by a slender spout. The gilt bronze handles are sculpted in the form of intertwined serpents. The meticulously worked gilt bronze also adorns the upper parts of the bodies, forming raised leaves. The base, sculpted with leaves, rests on small gadrooned feet, completing the ensemble with harmony and balance. This pair of ewers will appeal to collectors, lovers of 19th-century art, or decorators seeking unique and historically significant pieces. ****************Period: Mid-19th century.
