About the Item
A Pair of Large Louis XVI Style Gilt-Bronze Mounted Rouge Griotte Vases and Covers.
Designed in the Neoclassical Style with intwined serpent handles above ram’s masks joined by acanthus swags. These palatial vases are amongst the finest examples of their period. Their grand scale, finely carved rouge griotte marble and exquisitely wrought gilt-bronze mounts are emblematic of the extravagant and opulent tastes of the fin de siècle, when bronziers spared no expense to create ever more lavish objects and works of art. Towards the end of the 19th century, the market for such magnificent works of art was increasingly international, and vases of such palatial scale would have been much sought after by Gilded Age collectors.
Undoubtedly nineteenth century in their scale and opulence, the design for these vases comes from classical prototypes an the intertwined serpent handles reference antiquity,when the Greeks and Romans believed snakes acted as guardians of sacred places, houses, and tombs. Accordingly, the inspiration for the present vases comes from 18th century France, when makers such as Pierre Gouthière (1732-1813), bronze chaser and gilder to Louis XV and Louis XVI, created à la Grecque vases ornamented with masks, serpents and such neoclassical ornament.
France, Circa 1870-90.

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...
