"Vase In Onyx And Gilt Bronze With Cloisonné Enamels – Napoleon III Style, 19th Century"
An elegant baluster-shaped vase in veined onyx, richly mounted in finely chased gilt bronze and adorned with polychrome cloisonné enamel plaques. The upper section features a decoration of blue, red, and gold enamels with floral and arabesque motifs, enhanced by openwork handles of Orientalist inspiration. The base, also embellished with enamels, rests on a circular base of light-colored stone.
This type of piece, characteristic of the second half of the 19th century, perfectly embodies the eclectic and luxurious taste of the Napoleon III style, blending Oriental influences, rich materials, and high-quality craftsmanship.
