Description

A Palatial French Ormolu-Mounted Sevres Porcelain Hand-Painted Vase and Cover, circa 1838.
This monumental Sevres porcelain vase stands 56? high, and is beautifully hand-painted with classical scenes of lovers and cupids, in teal / turquoise blue ground porcelain. Made with very fine quality figural bronze handle, the vase turns to a full 360 degree angle and is mounted on a solid bronze base with fine detail. Painted with beautiful flowers throughout the entire vase, leading up to the cover, which is adorned with an acorn bronze mounted finial and crown.
The scenes are signed by artist, and the cover is stamped SEVRES 1838.
Sevres vases of this size and quality are rare and hard to find. Vases of this size were typically made for palaces and private castles in the 19th century.
