Pair of 19th Century French Ormolu Mounted Marble Centerpieces, H. Journet & Cie

About the Item

A Pair of 19th century French Ormolu Mounted Marble Centerpieces, Attributed to E. Lievre, Signed on the Bottom. Each bulbous-bodied centerpiece is set on Chinese-style ormolu bases, each composed of four stylized, scrolled legs. The vases have been crafted from a beautiful marble, with an unusual tannish, reddish hue. They feature short waisted stems and wide bodies. Ormolu dragon heads, with ring handles held in their mouths, are mounted onto the sides of the vase bodies. The vases’ short, waisted necks feature flared rims, decorated with a cloud-like ormolu border. France, circa 1880 The undersides of the vases are signed, 'Ste Des Onyx H. Journet & Cie / 24 Bd Italiens'. The vases were crafted by Henri Journet, who became the director of a company called ‘Société des marbres d'onyx d'Algérie’ in 1875, taking over from its late founder, Eugène Cornu. Under the new name, H. Journet & Cie, the firm continued to create high-quality centerpieces with Fine ormolu mounts, like this pair of vases.
