About the Item
An exceedingly rare pair of fabulous porcelain vases in the Chinoiserie style. France, early to mid-19th century.
Why We Like It
Ever fascinated by the exotic and unusual, we have always adored the Chinoiserie style. We absolutely love its flamboyant, elaborate, almost theatrical decoration, which perfectly captures the original spirit of Chinoiserie—a tale of the glorious Orient, colourful and brimming with exotic flowers, mythical creatures, and elegant figures engaged in refined pursuits. These vases are perfect for display on wall brackets or conversion into lamps, which can be arranged upon request.
Design and Inspiration
A playful mix of vivid colours, bold patterns, and quirky shapes—made possible by the complete freedom from traditional design rules—makes Chinoiserie one of the most original decorative styles of the 18th and 19th centuries. Its influence remains strong in interior decorating today.
Although the British fascination with Chinoiserie was initially championed by influential designers like William Chambers and Thomas Chippendale in the late 18th century, the style remained popular well into the 19th century and spread across Europe.
The present vases display unparalleled boldness of design, characteristic of early 19th-century fashions. Their elaborate sculptural handles and exquisitely hand-painted reserves, featuring Oriental figures, flowers, and exotic birds, make them truly exceptional. These museum-quality vases, fabulously decorative and possibly unique, could have adorned the world-famous Chinoiserie rooms of the Royal Pavilion at Brighton and now deserve a place in any distinguished collection.
