Origin France Circa 1900
without restorations.
The Napoleon III style had its heyday during the 1850s and 1880s. Emperor Napoleon wanted to emulate the lavishness and elegance of the First Empire. His wife, Empress Eugenia de Montijo, was attracted to the Louis XVI style, and she had her apartments furnished with furniture inspired by the latter style.
With the Second Empire style, tradition and modernity are mixed, reaching a very eclectic artistic style. That eclecticism will give this style its own air. Numerous buildings were built during this time, which we can still see today: The Opera Garnier in Paris, the Louvre Palace, Paris City Hall... The city of Paris was transformed giving way to the great Boulevards and squares.

- Napoleon III Vase in Porcelain of Paris Mounted in Gilt Bronze with EspagnoletteBy Manufacture Nationale de SèvresLocated in SAINT-OUEN-SUR-SEINE, FRThis exceptional monumental vase in porcelain of Paris, conceived in the spirit of the Sèvres Manufactory’s productions, is quite characteristic of the Napoleon III style . The long neck of the shape is extremely rare, as well as the gilt bronzes’ richness of ornamentation. Its dimensions and its important bronze mount indicate a ceremonial piece, of supreme luxury, comparable to those the Manufactory exhibited at the World's Fairs. Evoking the aristocratic art of the Ancien Regime in many ways, this vase pays tribute to the refinements of the 18th century, and could have been commissioned to decorate the mansion of a 19th century personality. Indeed, the “Celestial blue” background, embellished with gold arabesques, is characteristic of the porcelains from the Royal Manufactory of Vincennes as early as 1753, which became the Sèvres Manufactory. It is a famous blue, difficult to obtain, which served to decorate the first service delivered to Louis XV. The lively shapes of the bronze base also evoke the art of the ornamentalists in Louis XV’s time, such as Jean-Claude Duplessis or Gouthiere, who were in charge of drawing gilt bronze mounts for China porcelain. The bronze mount of our vase is hence very close to the Duplessis’ ornementations. The two espagnolettes, with sheathed busts of women...Category
