Louis XVI Vases
LOUIS XVI STYLE
Reflecting the final era of royal opulence before the upheaval of the French Revolution, antique Louis XVI furniture features more angular shapes than the Rococo curves of the Louis XV style, harkening back to the imposing grandeur of Louis XIV.
Dating between 1750 and 1800, an era that overlapped with the last king of France whose reign was cut short by the guillotine, Louis XVI furniture, known as the goût grec, is emblematic of the neoclassical revision that French furniture underwent during the second half of the 18th century.
Authentic Louis XVI furniture characteristics include clean lines and carved details such as scrolls and acanthus flourishes that were inspired by ancient Greece and Rome. This was informed by a burgeoning interest in antiquity in the 18th century, owing to new archaeological excavations at sites including Pompeii and Herculaneum. It largely eclipsed the more East Asian–influenced ornamentation of Louis XV for something more geometric and symmetrical.
The Louis XVI style was defined by what was being created for the palatial rooms at Versailles and Fontainebleau, particularly for the queen, with cabinetmaker Jean-Henri Riesener being a favorite of Marie-Antoinette’s for his luxurious pieces accented with gilded bronze and marquetry. Furniture maker Jean-Baptiste-Claude Sené was also a major designer of the period, with his pieces for the royal residences adorned with giltwood and neoclassical touches like tapered columns for chair legs and laurel leaf carvings. Cabinetmaker Adam Weisweiler occasionally incorporated into his furniture porcelain panels produced by Sèvres, a popular manufacturer of European ceramics that served the crown with serveware, vases and other decorative objects.

A 19th C. Monumental Cobalt Blue Royal Vienna Porcelain Vase w/ Watteau Scene

A 19th Century Monumental Cobalt Blue Ground Royal Vienna Porcelain Covered Vase with Watteau Scenes. Marvel at the sheer magnificence of this very large, Monumental Royal Blue Ground Royal Vienna Porcelain Covered Vase, an exquisite masterpiece that will leave you in awe. The hand-painted Watteau Scenes on this vase depict a wonderful rural landscape that features a group of beautiful women in gorgeous gowns of burnt-orange, lavender, blue, white, pink, yellow, and apricot. The women are surrounded by a pastoral landscape and a lovely old tree painted realistically with twisted branches, where a cute plump cherub sits on one of the branches and looks down at the dynamic and festive looking women. Two of the women hold a lovely garland of pastel colored flowers, while the others swoon around or perch, leaning on a sweet-looking, doe-eyed white and grey cow that is lying on the ground seemingly enjoying the interaction as it twists its head around to lick its left leg.
The foreground of the scene is adorned with detail that creates a sense of depth and perspective. The blue sky and puffy afternoon clouds surrounding the women add to the idyllic atmosphere of the painting. The vase's body is a beautiful deep shiny blue background with extensive delicate gilded decoration in a lace-like pattern surrounding the entire vase except for the painted scenes. The classic urn shape with a footed base and a lovely mounded lid adorned with a perfectly proportioned golden acorn finial. On the opposite side of the vase is another beautifully colored rural scene depicting a floating deer and two women in yellow...

Pair of Gilt-Bronze Mounted Chinese Celadon-Ground Porcelain Vases
Located in Brighton, West Sussex
A Pair of Large Gilt-Bronze Mounted Chinese Celadon-Ground and Slip Decorated Porcelain Vases.
These vases of Chinese celadon porcelain from the late Quing Dynasty are slip-decorated with willow trees and prunus flowers. The finely sculpted gilt-bronze handles are modelled as winged merman term figures running on berried scrolled clasps to a rocaille raised foot.
These superb vases are in the tradition for mounting Chinese porcelain with gilt-bronze accoutrements made by ciseleur-doreurs such as Pierre Gouthière for the marchand-merciers, namely Dominique Daguerre and Simon-Philippe Poirier. The practice continued into the nineteenth century when Prince Regent, later George IV (1762-1830), sent Chinese porcelain vases from the Royal...
