About the Item
Large antique French ormolu mounted porcelain vase
French, Late 19th century
Height 138cm, width 59cm, depth 46cm
This exceptional 19th-century porcelain vase, in a rare white colourway, exudes opulence. It rests on an ornate ormolu base adorned with sculpted drapery, floral motifs, and a fleur-de-lis crest—hallmarks of its French origin. The vase itself is lavishly embellished with gold gilt fleur-de-lis patterns.
Two finely crafted ormolu handles, each topped with a seated cherub, frame its impressive form. The lid features an intricately detailed finial of intertwined doves in a floral nest, symbolising love and unity.
Hand-painted mythological scenes further enhance its beauty. One side portrays Venus and Mars, the gods of love and war, in a celestial tableau where Venus disarms Mars, echoing the timeless theme of love conquering conflict—famously depicted in Botticelli’s Venus and Mars at London’s National Gallery. The reverse illustrates Perseus rescuing Andromeda from the sea monster Cetus, a tale of heroism and devotion. The Venus side is signed ‘B. Fuchs’.
With its masterful artistry and romantic symbolism, this vase is a captivating statement piece for any refined interior.

Very large antique French Sèvres style porcelain vase
French, Late 19th Century
Height 154cm, diameter 41cm
This fantastic vase is the work of J. Pascault, a famed porcelain artist of the late 19th Century who specialised in the production of Sevres-style pieces. It is beautifully executed, and especially impressive given its large size of one and a half metres (almost 5 feet) in height.
The vase is tall and slender in shape, set on a gilt bronze plinth, and surmounted by a cover with a pinecone finial. Its ovoid body is decorated around its exterior in the Rococo taste: showing a female figure and winged putti in a landscape...
