Magnificent Pair of Christofle Neoclassical Gilt Bronze Bas Relief Urn Vases

About the Item

Important pair of gilt bronze neoclassical urn vases, signed Christofle to circular plinth, in neoclassical style dating to late 19th century. Lavishly decorated with seated figures holding musical instruments, allegory to music, central frieze depicting cavorting putti. Christofle was a French silversmith and designer, and his name became synonymous with luxury and fine craftsmanship. The company Christofle was founded in 1830 by Charles Christofle in Paris. Initially, Charles Christofle focused on producing silverware, including flatware, cutlery, and other tableware, but he quickly gained recognition for his exceptional quality and innovative techniques. Christofle revolutionized the art of silversmithing by employing electroplating, a process that allowed silver to be applied to other metals. This made high-quality silverware more accessible while retaining its luxurious appeal. Over time, Christofle expanded into jewelry, home décor, and even decorative pieces like vases and urns. The company collaborated with some of the most renowned designers of the 19th and 20th centuries, helping to establish its reputation as a leader in the world of fine luxury goods. Christofle urn-style vases, like these, are often designed with classical or neoclassical influences. These vases typically feature decorative elements such as handles, fluted details, and ornate finishes, reflecting the grandeur and elegance associated with the urn shape. Christofle has crafted urn vases in various materials, including silver, bronze, and sometimes glass, always maintaining their high standards of craftsmanship and design.
