Pair of Vintage French Marble Gilt Bronze Porcelain Romantic Painted Pillars
About the Item
We are delighted to offer for sale this stunning pair of early 20th century circa 1920s French marble and gilt bronze pedestal pillars with hand painted porcelain bodies depicting lovers in a rural setting
These are quite simply the most decorative pillars I have ever seen. Usually these are relatively simple pieces designed as pedestals for flowers and antiques, not this pair, they start and finish with solid Italian marble, the decorative sections of the pillars are gilt bronze and the main bodies are some kind of very strong porcelain, most likely they are applied over a metal hollow body
Condition wise is very fine indeed, there will be some age related patina marks here and there but mostly they are exquisite examples

- PAIR OF ANTIQUE 1870 GRAND TOUR BRONZE MARBLE CLODION BACCHANALIA CASSOLETTEsLocated in GBRoyal House Antiques Royal House Antiques is delighted to offer for sale this absolutely exquisite pair of 1870 Grand Tour Bronze, Gilt Bronze and Marble Bacchahalia Cassolettes after Cloudio A very finely cast and finished pair of Napoleon III period vasiform urns, they are an exquisite sand-cast creation utilizing bronze and gilt bronze to create an extraordinary contrast between materials. The body of the vase is rich in a dark-brown patina that positively glows around the bas-relief Bacchanalia scene of putto playing a tug-of-war type game, carrying wine glasses and bunches of grapes and one walking with a thrysus raised over his shoulder while roaring animal heads flank either end with polished bronze garlands of water-leaves and berries draped between. The lids and necks are crafted of gilt bronze, which gives a cooler tone to the brilliant shine of the metal. The urns are raised over a shaped marble base and finished over a polished bronze rim affixed on the underside with slotted screws. After the models by Claude Michel Clodion. For those of you that are unaware the “Grand Tour” was something educated young people did in the 18th and 19th century to learn and further educate themselves on other cultures, they would pick up small medium and large trinkets as memories of the journey which would sit in pride of place in their library or study as conversation pieces when friends and relatives would visit, they basically proved you were well educated, well travelled and a person of culture. These pair are large, decorative and very important looking pieces of Italian Grand Tour art...Category
