About the Item

An extraordinary and fantastic quality antique French Louis XVI style and sevres style pink ground three piece pot-pourri and four arm candelabra garniture set. This unusual and quite rare set is made up of two of the rarest and most desirable Sevres models to have ever been produced by the Sevres porcelain company. The center object, known as a pot-pourri gondole, was produced by the Sevres company in 1757-1758 for King George IV, and is one of only three pink ground Sevres porcelain objects still in the Royal Collection. This particular pot-pourri model is considerably complex to produce, as the top is in the form of a pierced-onion with circular open-work holes intended for use with hyacinth flower bulbs. This particular model is decorated in a gorgeous pink-ground with the main panels decorated in hand-painted decorations of three putti's in the clouds playing with one another. The pot-pourri is further decorated white paneled sections filled with hand-painted flowers. The piece is further adorned in 24K gold decoration. The lid is encrusted in all hand-painted porcelain flowers of all shapes and sizes. The form of this pot-pourri bares resemblance to the Venetian gondola, for which royalty adored. The candelabras of this marvelous set hold their own as extraordinary and of the most sought-after form produced by the Sevres company. These were produced around the same time as the pot-pourri , in 1758 by Jean-Claude Duplessis, one of the foremost ceramic porcelain modelers for the Sevres company from 1748-1774. The candelabras are called, vase à tête d'éléphant, which translates to elephant head vase. These were originally designed as vases with an intent to place candelabra arms on them, and this pair is of no exception with gorgeous candelabra arms which continue from the trunks of the elephant heads. These candelabras are truly incredible with a pink-ground, hand-painted panels of multiple putti's playing in the clouds, a gorgeous base with white accents, and to top it off, each section is hand-painted with multi-colored flowers and finished in 24K gold. The bottoms of each of this marvelous pieces are marked in gold with French porcelain marks. Sets like this garniture are extremely rare and even more difficult to find in this quality and condition. France, Circa: 1800's.

18th C. Chinese Porcelain Famille Rose Mandarin 3-Piece Vase Garniture Set
Located in New York, NY
An 18th century Chinese Porcelain Famille Rose Mandarin 3-Piece vase Garniture Set. A status symbol between the 17th and 19th centuries, most garniture sets have by now been damaged or broken up with the individual pieces sold off. Few complete sets now exist, and even fewer survive in their original state, which makes this beautifully painted set of three Chinese Porcelain Famille Rose vases so much more special. With mandarin orange and gilt unusually bold and swooping dragon handles, each delicately decorated vase is completed with a lid seating a gloriously pompous foo dog. The bodies are decorated with hand painted famille rose flowerpot cartouches, as well as, chirping birds, and banded flowers and vines. The exquisite hand painted tastefully colored floral displays each with their own hand painted vase creates a freshness and inspires within us the IDEA for further additions of fresh flowers within the home. One of the porcelain, three (3) piece garniture set, is smaller and has a variation of banded colors around its fluted foot, lending just the right amount of visual variation to this gorgeous trio. The white porcelain bulbous bodies are further decorated with colorful insects...
