About the Item

Attached to the narrow neck of the balusters are swan necks issuing from acanthus leaves and bending down to grab the end of floral festoons to form handles.
The The attractive pair of Louis XVI swan handle marble and gilt bronze vases were intended as representative decorative objects on a mantelpiece or stately chest of drawers, framing a large bouquet of flowers or a fine pendule.

- Pair of French Louis XVI Period Gilt Bronze and Agate VasesBy Martin BaffertLocated in London, GBThese 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...Category
