About the Item

Pair of antique porcelain sconces by Meissen German, late 19th Century Measures: Height 57cm, width 38cm, depth 10cm This fine pair of German Rococo style Meissen sconces features beautifully encrusted porcelain flowers and petals and delicately hand painted passages. In their unmatched quality, the pair epitomizes the very best of the Meissen porcelain factory. Each of the sconces features a diamond form back plate, the edges beautifully shaped with expansive foliage. The central panel of the back plate is defined by a rich red drape, in front of which, in each light, sits a nude figure—one male, the other female—accompanied by a cherub. Each sconce supports two branches, each terminating in a single candle holder. The back plate of one sconce is signed, underglaze, with blue crossed swords—the signature of Meissen.

Pair of Meissen Style Porcelain and Ebonised Wood Mirrored Wall Brackets
By Dresden Porcelain
Located in London, GB
Pair of Meissen style porcelain and ebonised wood mirrored wall brackets German, late 19th Century Height 88cm, width 36/40cm, depth 19cm This superb pair of wall brackets are a masterclass in the Meissen design style. The mirror of each bracket is mounted on an ebonised wood backing, which is surrounded by a porcelain C-scroll surround encrusted with floral decoration. Featuring delicate scrolling motifs, the edge decoration includes both painted floral patterns and moulded floral assemblages, all in a vibrant colour scheme which stands out against the pure white porcelain base. Two expertly crafted birds perch at the corners of each bracket, carefully painted to mimic their real-life counterparts.
