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. Porcelain was so admired and treasured in the 18th century that it became the fashion to mount them in gilt bronze to increase their beauty. This pair is a perfect melding of craftsmen and artist each giving their skills to create perfect works of art.
