French Cloisonné Enamel & Ormolu mounted Covered Urn In The Chinoiserie Style
About the Item
A late 19th century French Cloisonné enamel and ormolu mounted covered tureen, the richly decorated cloisonné enameling with floral and foliate motifs are executed in vibrant hues of red, green, purple, turquoise, and white, all outlined in fine brass wirework. The symmetrical pattern is reminiscent of both Chinese and French decorative arts of the late 1800s., the twin ornate handles project from each side, cast in gilt bronze with stylized, possibly zoomorphic forms (suggesting dragon or lion influence), typical of high-end cloisonné work. The domed lid, similarly enameled, is crowned with a finely cast gilt bronze finial. When open, the lid reveals a gilded interior, likely gold-plated bronze or copper, which would have helped preserve contents and added to the aesthetic luxury the urn may have originally served a functional as well as decorative purpose, possibly as a sugar bowl, sweetmeat container, or ceremonial vessel. Base: It rests on a pierced gilt bronze stand with four splayed legs, ornately detailed with acanthus scrollwork and classical motifs.
Circa 1900
