Porcelain Cup From The Sèvres Manufactory, Mounted On A Structure And Set In Gilt Bronze

This magnificent porcelain bowl is a true gem from the prestigious Sèvres manufactory, renowned for its unparalleled craftsmanship and timeless elegance. Its deep, luminous blue, characteristic of Sèvres creations, immediately draws the eye and lends this piece a noble and refined air. The bowl is adorned with delicate scenes depicting angels, stylized flowers, and birds, all framed within finely crafted cartouches. These exquisitely detailed motifs testify to the talent of the artisans of the period and add a poetic and artistic dimension to the object. What makes this bowl even more exceptional is its gilt-bronze setting, which accentuates its beauty with a touch of luxury and sophistication. At each end, a bird with outstretched wings seems to take flight, bringing dynamism and movement to the whole. The base, also in solid gilt bronze, is meticulously decorated: each foot is adorned with a dolphin, a symbol of elegance and grace, typical of the Neoclassical style. Dating from the late 18th or early 19th century, this bowl is a remarkable testament to the art of living and the taste for beauty that characterized that era. It could have been perfect, but it bears the marks of an earlier restoration, including some regluing, which in no way diminishes its charm and visual appeal. Aside from this, it is in excellent overall condition, with a patina that lends it authenticity and a unique character. Its dimensions are as follows: a width of 23.2 cm (including the birds), a depth of 14.6 cm, and a height of 11 cm. These proportions make it a piece that is both imposing and harmonious, ideal for gracing a table or display case. This bowl is much more than a simple decorative object: it is a work of art, a legacy of the past that will appeal to antique lovers and collectors seeking pieces imbued with history and beauty. She embodies the excellence of French porcelain and the splendor of aristocratic salons of yesteryear.
