Pair of Directoire Gilt and Patinated Bronze Ewers

About the Item

In the neoclassical taste, the open reeded spouts above ovoid bodies with leaf-clasped socles on square bases, the handles terminating in a female mask. This pair of ewers is a rare early example of a model which became more popular under the First Empire.
