About the Item

A Magnificent pair of 19th century Louis XVI Style ormolu mounted chinese famille verte porcelain vases turned to lamps, the ormolu attributed to Henry Dasson. The ormolu mounted Chinese porcelain vases are a stunning example of the exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail that characterized the art of the Qing dynasty. The vases feature delicate porcelain bodies that are adorned with intricate depictions of ducks, flowers, a pond, and flying birds, rendered in the vibrant green, yellow, and red hues that are characteristic of the famille verte palette. The vases are mounted with ormolu, a type of gilded bronze that was highly prized in the 18th century for its durability and beauty. The ormolu mounts are exquisitely detailed, featuring intricate maidens masks at the top of each of the three marvelous hand-chassed and hand-chiseled legs. These masks are adorned with flowing hair, delicate features, and ornate headdresses that add a sense of regal elegance to the vases. Overall, the Chinese porcelain vases are one of understated sophistication and timeless beauty. The delicate porcelain and intricate ormolu work combine to create a masterpiece that is both aesthetically pleasing and historically significant. Whether displayed as a centerpiece in a grand entryway or as part of a curated collection, these vases are sure to captivate the eye and inspire admiration for generations to come.
