About the Item

19th century, French Cloisonné vase on gilded bronze base This elegant vase or cachepot, made in France in the 19th century, has a gilded and finely chiselled bronze structure that supports a vase made with the cloisonné technique. The cloisonné, also called lustre of Byzantium, is a technique of artistic decoration in enamel, in which thin wires or cells (called in French cloisonné) are welded to a plate of support of the work to be built; later, in the areas detected by the metal, enamel is poured, thus obtaining a sort of mosaic whose tiles are precisely circumscribed by the metal strips. The refined decoration of this vase has a blue background with polychrome plants and flowers and birds. The bronze structure, of oriental taste, crowns the vase with a perforated band that imitates the woven twigs. Two phytomorphic sockets run along the height of the vase and weld to the base in circular bronze, chiselled with geometric decorations. The base rests on four feet in gilded and chiselled bronze anthropomorphic shape. They are four fantasy creatures in the form of devils who, bent, support the vase and its structure with their backs and arms. Among every devil there are decorations with floral elements and bronze draperies. This refined vase, of distinct decorative character, can be used as a planter and cachepot, resting on a guéridon, on a chest of drawers, on a console or even on a dining table or a coffee table. Good state of preservation.

20th Century, Italian Bronze Planter or Gueridon
Located in IT
20th century, Italian bronze planter or Gueridon Measures: cm W 56 x maximum diameter 51 x H 90. H on the floor of the wide 81 cm This refined planter was made in Italy, in Naples, towards the Early 20th Century in the style of «Retour d'Egypte». It consists of a tripod structure in finely chiselled gilded bronze and lacquered in tones. Each leg originates with scroll decorations and phytomorphic elements with golden details, supported by a sphinx with hairstyle, tail and golden wings. This sits on a curvilinear and wavy element decorated with golden ramage and a man’s head with a long beard of classic taste. The legs end with an injured foot and rest on a tripartite base that connects them. In the middle of each leg there is a bronze junction with curls and volutes that converges towards the others in the center, where a vertical element contributes to the momentum and gracefulness of the whole. The basin of the planter is in lacquered tin, with gold edges and reserves. The rising part of the tub has some holes that allow the breathability of the space. This tripod is inspired, with variations, to a famous model of the brothers Luigi and Antonio Manfredini, active in Milan at the beginning of the nineteenth century, financed by the viceroy of Italy Eugenio de Beauharnais, adopted son of Napoleon Bonaparte, for the opening of the real manufacture of Eugenia. The Retour d'Egypte style was widely echoed in France and Europe and originated from General Bonaparte’s military campaign in Egypt in 1799. The fashion of the Egyptians had already in Italy found a previous interpreter in the engraver Giovan Battista Piranesi, but the vast diffusion that also had in the furniture the Egyptian ornament...
