Pair Of Cone-shaped Vases Made Of Painted Sheet Metal From The 19th Century

A very pretty pair of painted tin vases with romantic designs.
It’s quite unusual to find them in a small size.
These are truly beautiful examples of this type of tin vase.
They are all the more interesting because each side is adorned with lively scenes featuring romantic motifs such as ancient ruins, etc.—but they are hand-painted; these are not chromolithographs or decals, but genuine small paintings.

Conical in shape, they rest on four claw-foot legs bearing traces of gilding and are screwed onto a square base painted in faux red marble, reminiscent of Italian cherry red.

The set is in good condition despite a few minor paint restorations and some dents that are barely visible in the photos.

These are charming, small-sized painted tin vases that bear witness to the Romantic era of the first half of the 19th century.

Dimensions:
19 cm high by 9 cm by 9 cm at the base.
