Pair of 18th Century Meissen Porcelain Groups in Dore Bronze Mounts, circa 1770

About the Item

This pair of Meissen groups portray scenes of playful lovers in bowers of flowers embellished with mercury gilded bronze. The bowers are crowned with additional nosegays of porcelain flowers.

This pair is a perfect melding of craftsmen and artist each giving their skills to create perfect works of art.
