Rare Pair of Early 19th Century Empire Bronze Vases, French or German

About the Item

A rare and decorative pair of early 19th century Empire gilt and patinated bronze vases of campana form on a stepped square marble base. The everted egg-and-dart rim above a finely chased frieze depicting putti playing music. This or a similar pair of vases belonged to the collection of the Queen Louise of Prussia and were once on display at the Hohenzollern-Museum at Chateau Monbijou in Berlin; see photograph. Theses kind of vases were often attributed to Parisian workshops, but recent research rose the question, that they might be produced in Berlin during the early 19th century, probably by the bronzier factory of Werner & Mieth.

  • Two Early 19th Century French Empire Gilt Bronze Candelabra
    Located in London, GB
    These magnificent candelabra were cast entirely of gilt bronze in the French Empire period of the early 19th century. Each candelabrum is formed as a cornucopia of scrolled branches holding four lights with drip pans, set on a single torch-form stem, held aloft by a Classical style figure. The figures, one male and one female, are shown draped in swathed clothing, with the male figure depicted holding a quill in his other hand, whilst the female figure clutches a delicate bouquet of flowers. The figures stand upon circular bases, set onto ovoid vases which featured fluted details and central bands of laurel leaf motifs.
