Pr Louis XVI Style Dore Bronze Mtd Faux Lapis Lazuli Sevres Athenians/Cassoulets

About the Item

A Monumental Pair of Louis XVI Style Dore Bronze Mounted Faux Lapis Lazuli Hand-Painted Sevres Porcelain Athenians/Cassoulets on a Triangular Onyx Base, Most Probably Commissioned for the King. These are truly a masterpiece. Each section of the mounted bronze is exceptionally cast, chased, hand-chiseled, matted, and burnished in two-tone 24K gold. The blue porcelain mid-sections are hand-painted with the finest detail to mimic lapis lazuli. Only the finest Sevres porcelain artist could paint porcelain and make it appear as lapis lazuli. The porcelain is further adored with speckles of 24K gold, perfecting the lapis lazuli appearance. Flanking three ends of the porcelain mid-section are three gorgeously mounted dore bronze rams heads with dore bronze legs that terminate to thee hooved feet decorated in acanthus leaves. Moving from each rams head are garlands of flowers which provide a different dynamic to the piece. Running down the dore bronze legs is a scalloped, ribbon-like design. The top of the porcelain is decorated with a dore bronze acorn finial wrapped in dore bronze acanthus leaves. The underside of the porcelain is decorated with a circular dore bronze mount, and protruding from the mount is a flame finial. Found on the base is an incredible miniature dore bronze urn-style finial, exceptionally decorated with three lions paw legs, garlands, acanthus leaves and an acorn finial. Each piece rests on a hand-carved gorgeous onyx base exemplifying this pieces importance and beauty. Pieces in this size and quality were usually commissioned to Sevres by the king himself. France, Circa: 1860.
