Pair of Vases. Gilded Bronze, Veined Marble. France, Late 19th Century

About the Item

Pair of vases. Gilded bronze, veined marble. France, late 19th century Pair of centerpieces or vases that have an oval body carved in marble veined in pink tones (of a type very similar to one that was highly prized and often used in French school works during the 18th century Rococo) and some gilded marble enhancements, creating a kind of tripod to hold and enhance the stone pieces. These are decorated with lion's claws on the legs, simple architectural moldings, flowers and female masks with plant elements, as well as a border that extends towards the interior of the pieces, creating three wings or handles, decorated with plant elements and architectural (scrolls, flowers, bows, leaves, etc.) both outside and inside this area, leaving what would be the internal area of the smooth marble pieces. The classicist inspiration of the decorative elements of the couple is common in French school works since the 18th century. Some details (for example, the claws finishing off the legs) are seen in Louis XIV-style centerpieces dating from that century, while other elements are seen more often in Louis XVI-style work (one of the main features of the Neoclassical style). There is knowledge of a couple of centerpieces very similar to these vases and in one piece (also a centerpiece) preserved in a private collection in the United States of America.
