This exceptional monumental vase in porcelain of Paris, conceived in the spirit of the Sèvres Manufactory’s productions, is quite characteristic of the Napoleon III style . The long neck of the shape is extremely rare, as well as the gilt bronzes’ richness of ornamentation. Its dimensions and its important bronze mount indicate a ceremonial piece, of supreme luxury, comparable to those the Manufactory exhibited at the World's Fairs. Evoking the aristocratic art of the Ancien Regime in many ways, this vase pays tribute to the refinements of the 18th century, and could have been commissioned to decorate the mansion of a 19th century personality. Indeed, the “Celestial blue” background, embellished with gold arabesques, is characteristic of the porcelains from the Royal Manufactory of Vincennes as early as 1753, which became the Sèvres Manufactory. It is a famous blue, difficult to obtain, which served to decorate the first service delivered to Louis XV. The lively shapes of the bronze base also evoke the art of the ornamentalists in Louis XV’s time, such as Jean-Claude Duplessis or Gouthiere, who were in charge of drawing gilt bronze mounts for China porcelain. The bronze mount of our vase is hence very close to the Duplessis’ ornementations. The two espagnolettes, with sheathed busts of women...

A charming French alabaster sculpture created in France during the late 19th century, this delightful work depicts a monkey quietly smoking a pipe, blending humor, craftsmanship, and remarkable naturalism. Animalier subjects enjoyed great popularity during the Belle Époque, and this sculpture perfectly captures the era's fascination with expressive animals rendered with lifelike detail and refined artistic quality. Expertly carved from fine alabaster, the sculpture features beautifully modeled fur, expressive facial features, and a relaxed pose that gives the monkey an unmistakable sense of personality. The realistic glass eyes bring the figure to life, creating an engaging focal point that reflects the exceptional attention to detail characteristic of French sculptors of the period. The warm tones and translucent quality of the alabaster further enhance the elegance and sculptural depth of the composition. Measuring 9.8 inches high (25 cm), 6.7 inches wide (17 cm), and 4.4 inches deep (11.2 cm), this sculpture is perfectly sized for display on a desk, library shelf, mantel, or cabinet. It remains in good antique condition, with only minor scratches and small chips to the base that are consistent with its age and do not detract from its overall beauty or decorative appeal. Whimsical animal sculptures...
