Gilt bronze and Sèvres style porcelain Louis XVI style casket on stand This magnificent Louis XVI style ormolu casket is supported by a mirror-topped table stand, which sits on four tapered, fluted legs connected by a curving X-form stretcher. In the centre of this stretcher is an ormolu urn decorated with rams heads, four hoof feet and birds on the top. The legs of the table are also ornately decorated with draped garlands and scrolled detailing. The apron is inset with Sèvres style porcelain plaques depicting scenes of cherubs and children in landscapes as well as decorative floral detailing, and is surmounted with laurel leaf mounts. The casket itself is of oval architectural form, and is set on fourteen small feet. It features further porcelain plaques depicting cherubs, musical instruments and a central oval portrait of Queen Marie Antoinette within a crowned gilt cartouche. Her portrait is flanked by two cherubs and is sat within a decorative royal blue border, matching the turquoise colored borders of the other plaques. The reverse of the casket is similarly decorated and features a painted plaque of her husband King Louis XVI. The plaques are separated by mounted ormolu columns decorated with crowns and draped laurel leaves, and each column is surmounted by floral crowns. Each curved side of the casket features an ormolu mask of a female figure, and the hinged lid is surmounted by two reclining female figures wearing draped dresses and holding a central crown. The casket opens at the lid to reveal a velvet interior. There is an inscription below the portrait of Marie Antoinette which spuriously reads ‘This casket formerly property of Marie Antoinette, presented to my beloved wife as souvenir of our European tour / Sept 8th 1886 / Louis L...

This charming Venetian painted humidor table exemplifies the whimsical elegance and artisanal character associated with historic Italian decorative arts. Finished in a softly patinated green ground, the table is richly ornamented with foliate scrollwork and lattice cartouche motifs, hand-painted throughout with a lively, naïve fluency characteristic of Venetian workshop production. The rectangular hinged top opens to reveal a humidor compartment, the interior now likely replaced, resting above a shaped apron with continuing painted decoration. The table is raised on slender, straight legs terminating in small feet, all retaining their original painted surface with visible age-related wear that contributes to its authentic, timeworn appeal. Decorative painting on the lid includes a figural pastoral vignette framed by scrolling reserves and latticework panels, a format frequently seen in Venetian furniture produced for domestic interiors rather than formal palazzi—objects intended to delight rather than impress through strict symmetry or academic refinement. Dimensions: 28"h x 13.5"w x 12"d Condition: Good/Fair. Expected age-related wear throughout, including discoloration, edge wear, decorative paint losses and chips, rubbing and areas of inpainting to the lid decoration. The interior of the humidor appears to be a later replacement. Wear noted to the feet. Overall structurally sound and visually engaging, with surface wear consistent with age and use. Remarks: A highly decorative and evocative piece, this Venetian painted table...
