This exquisite piece exemplifies the refined artistry and craftsmanship for which Royal Bonn became celebrated, featuring beautifully hand-painted figural scene of musketeer enhanced by elegant gilt decoration. The vase displays an unusual and highly decorative form, with a rounded body resting on a circular base and adorned with two gracefully integrated side handles.

The detailed figural compositions capture the charm and romance of 17th-century life, while showcasing the exceptional skill and attention to detail of the artist. Fine gilt accents beautifully highlight the handles, rim, foot, and decorative borders, adding depth and elegance to the vibrant orange porcelain.

Antique Italian Naples Gold Gilt Bronze Ormolu Keys Tray Decorative Vide-Poche Italy Bronze c. 1900 Dimensions: H x W x D: 3cm x 14.5cm x 13.5cm Depicting the side profile of a bearded man, this tray dates to around 1900 and was crafted in Naples, Italy. Its function is both decorative and practical, with the potential to be used as a key or trinket tray, also known as a vide-poche, or simply as a purely decorative feature. Vide-poches emerged in the 18th century as small catch-all trays placed in hallways, parlours, and dressing rooms, reflecting the period’s growing attention to domestic order and personal accessories. By the early 20th century, they had become both practical and decorative objects, and this tray is a fine example of that tradition. Cast in bronze and gilded, the tray presents a side profile of a man. The casting is superb, with clearly defined anatomical features that give the piece depth and texture, enhancing its visual interest. Particularly impressive is the treatment of the hair, where the braids, moustache, and beard are distinctly rendered. The reverse is stamped with an indistinct maker’s mark “C. CARM […] / NAPOLI”, indicating that the piece was crafted in Italy. The tray is supported by four circular feet, which give it a slight elevation. Of a highly interesting design, this tray reflects the contemporary fashion for small trinket dishes...
