About the Item
A Very Fine Pair of French 19th Century Louis XV Style Gilt-Bronze Mounted and Green Marble Brule-Parfums Urns (Incense burner), attributed to Henri Picard (French, 1831-1864). The ovoid shaped marble urns surmounted with ormolu mounts of female masks, floral scrolls and raised on hooved feet above a semi-circular marble plinth. The pierced ormolu lid topped with an acorn finial. Circa: Paris, 1860.
The well regarded fondeur and doreur Henri Picard was recorded at 6 rue Jarente in 1831, and moved to 10 rue de la Perle in 1839. The firm, which was active from 1831-1864, is known for having supplied very fine decorative objects to Emperor Napoleon III's apartments at the Louvre, which are still part of the collection, and was reputed for its fine quality decorative production of gilt and patinated bronzes, pièce de table and garnitures de cheminée. His works often bear his "H. Picard" stamp.
