Pair of lapis and gilt bronze krater vases

About the Item

Each krater form vase in this pair is made of gilt bronze mounted lapis lazuli. The vases stand on square gilt bronze bases which attach to the feet of the vases with acanthus leaf gilt bronze mounts. From a gilt bronze band around the top of each vase’s stem spring twin scrolling handles, which rejoin each vase at its rim. This rim is encompassed by a gilt bronze mount that is capped by a lapis lid surmounted by a gilt bronze finial.

Pair of French Louis XVI Period Gilt Bronze and Agate Vases
By Martin Baffert
Located in London, GB
These truly exceptional and rare antique Louis XVI period vases have been sculpted from agate, a precious and highly sought-after stone. The vases are set on square agate bases with gilt bronze laurel wreath socles. The burgundy and claret agate bodies of the vases are mounted with gilt bronze acanthus leaf ornamentation, and twin lion masks joined by draped swags above. The lids of the vases are mounted with gilt bronze, surmounted by pine cone finials. The vases' design is attributed to the late 18th century, French clockmaker Martin Baffert. Baffert worked with a number of Parisian bronziers including Jean-Nicholas Fremont, Nicolas-Guillaume Jourdan and Francois-Robert Leguel, who assisted in the creation of his designs. This pair of vases is very similar to another pair of vases which Baffert designed, which form part of a clock garniture currently in the Rothschild collection at Waddesdon Manor. The Rothschild vases...
