French 19th-20th Century Louis XV Style Ormolu-Mounted Marble Urn
About the Item
A very fine French 19th-20th century Louis XV style ormolu-mounted Fleur de Pêcher marble vase or urn with a gadrooned cover surmounted by a pomegranate finial, above a tapering ovoid body applied with a pair of scrolled handles cast with acanthus-sheathed bulrushes, on a spreading foot and square plinth with acanthus clasps, circa 1900.
Measures: Height 25 inches (63.5 cm)
Width 18 inches (45.7 cm)
Depth 12 inches (30.5 cm)
The present vase is after a single example carved in porphyry, formerly in the collection of the Duc de Tallard. At the sale of Tallard's collection in 1756, the vase was purchased for 5,001 livres by the marquis de Marigny, brother of Madame de Pompadour. Following the death of his sister, Marigny lost his position as directeur général des Bâtiments, together with the sumptuously decorated hôtel that came with it, and the vase, together with other contents, were purchased from him by the Crown. Later displayed in the Salon du Premier Consul at the Tuileries, where it remained through to the end of the Second Empire, the vase is now in the collection of the Louvre.
An almost identical pair, similar to this vase, are illustrated in Christopher Payne's "François Linke 1855-1946 - The Belle Époque of French Furniture", Plate 223, Page 205. Another pair in Rouge marble was sold at Christie's New York on April 11, 2007, Sale 1818, Lot 36.
