Antique Sèvres Style Porcelain and Gilt Bronze Vase with Marine Subject
By Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres
Located in London, GB
This beautiful vase was created in France, in the period when Napoleon III was Emperor (1852-1870). It is designed in the style of Sèvres Manufactory porcelain.

The porcelain vase is of classical Amphora form, with a slender elongated neck, a large ovoid body with a slightly waisted base, and a splayed foot. The vase is topped by a porcelain crown, which is navy coloured and decorated with gilding, porcelain ‘jewels’ and a gilt bronze (ormolu) pinecone finial. The navy vase...

Witte Corneliszoon de With Aboard Ship – 19th-Century Hand-Colored Lithograph
Located in Langweer, NL
Witte Corneliszoon de With Aboard Ship – 19th-Century Hand-Colored Lithograph
This 19th-century hand-colored lithograph portrays Witte Corneliszoon de With, a bold and controversial Dutch admiral who served during the Eighty Years' War and the First Anglo-Dutch War. Born in 1599 in Hoogendijk, De With was known for his strict discipline, outspoken character, and bravery in numerous sea battles. He was both a rival and sometime ally of other great Dutch naval commanders such as Maarten Tromp and Michiel de Ruyter.
The portrait shows De With seated confidently aboard a warship, with a cannon positioned beside him and rigging sketched in the background. He wears an ornate sash and medallion across his armor, signaling his high rank and distinguished service. A sword rests at his side, and his hat lies nearby, completing the composition of a commanding yet composed figure in the theater of naval warfare.
This lithograph was drawn by Herman ten Kate and printed by P W van de Weijer in Utrecht around 1850. The image is lithographed and finished with hand coloring, lending the print subtle texture and depth.
The condition is good, with minimal aging, rich tones, and sharp details throughout.
Framing suggestion:
This historic naval portrait pairs well with a dark wood frame and muted archival matting in navy or grey. Use UV-protective glass to preserve the color and paper quality.

Jan Evertsen – Dutch Admiral in Battle Dress, 19th-Century Hand-Colored Lithograph
This 19th-century hand-colored lithograph portrays Jan Evertsen, a prominent admiral in the Dutch navy during the seventeenth century. Born in 1600 in Vlissingen, Evertsen was part of a well-known naval family and fought with distinction during the Anglo-Dutch Wars. He rose through the ranks to become lieutenant admiral of Zeeland.

The print shows Evertsen on the deck of a warship, fully clad in richly detailed armor. He holds a command baton and rests one hand confidently on his sword. A large cannon looms behind him, along with nautical equipment and the curve of the ship’s structure, grounding the portrait in a powerful naval context. His determined expression and posture reflect his leadership and courage at sea.
Drawn by Herman ten Kate and printed by P W van de Weijer in Utrecht, the lithograph features strong lines, hand-applied color, and an elegant composition that highlights the valor and historical significance of this Dutch naval hero.

Laurens Reael – Dutch VOC Governor and Admiral, 19th-Century Hand-Colored Lithograph
Item Description:
This 19th-century hand-colored lithograph features Laurens Reael, a distinguished figure in the early history of the Dutch East India Company (VOC). Born in Amsterdam in 1583, Reael served as Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies from 1616 to 1619 and later became an admiral in the Dutch navy. A humanist and scholar as well as a statesman, Reael was known for his moderate stance and legal-minded approach to colonial administration, which often brought him into conflict with more aggressive VOC policies.
In this scene, Reael is seated at a table, holding a document, with another official at his side. A map is partially visible on the wall behind them, suggesting a moment of planning or correspondence related to naval or colonial matters. His elaborate lace collar and thoughtful expression reflect his cultured personality and leadership role.
The lithograph was drawn by W F Hoevenaar and printed by P W van de Weijer in Utrecht. The image is rendered with fine detail and soft, hand-applied coloring, capturing a moment of calm reflection in the life of a statesman.

Jacob Cats – Dutch Poet and Statesman, 19th-Century Hand-Colored Lithograph
Item Description: This 19th-century hand-colored lithograph portrays Jacob Cats, one of the most beloved poets and moralists of the Dutch Golden Age.

His composed yet thoughtful expression, modest attire, and scholarly setting all reflect the dual life he led as both a literary figure and a statesman. The background features shelves of books, a richly patterned tablecloth, and finely detailed textures that emphasize his intellectual world.
