About the Item

19th century, Monumental Sèvres Style Polychrome Porcelain Vase Sèvres manufactory mark and the signature of the painter Georges Maxant. Dimensions: H 157 cm x W 58 cm x D 45 cm. Base: 37 x 37 cm The painted porcelain vase, shaped like an amphora with a lid, is decorated with chased and gilded bronze elements. The porcelain is painted in cobalt blue, characteristic of the manufactory, adorned with classical floral motifs in gold. In the center, within oval frames, two scenes are depicted, reflecting typical subjects of 18th-century French Rococo painting. Painted by Georges Maxant, as indicated by the signature, they show Venus surrounded by Cupid and cherubs on one side, and two cherubs on the other, set in bucolic landscapes with water features, plants, colorful flowers, and soft clouds. On the sides, two gilded bronze applications, sculpted in the form of classical busts with wings, accentuate the vase's lines. Also, acanthus leaves at the base of the vase near the stem add further decoration. The ensemble rests on a gilded bronze base with applications, engraved on all four sides with Louis XV-style motifs. The monumental vase, in good condition, is very decorative and creates a strong visual impact. It can be presented on a base or furniture for ease of viewing or slightly elevated to better appreciate its paintings. There are some 20th-century repairs. The vase consists of three detachable elements.
