Offered by: Mayfair Gallery

Description
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. The very top and very base of each bracket culminates in a playful putto, who represents one of the four seasons.

Below the mirrored section of each bracket is a semi-circular wooden top, which sits on top of a basket-shaped porcelain support. Surrounding this support is another porcelain edge, which is encrusted with a floral garland of bright green leaves and delicate blossoms.

There is a Dresden mark on the back of one of the brackets.

Showcasing the revival of the vibrant German Rococo style at the end of the 19th Century, this pair of brackets would be a wonderful addition to the appropriate interior space.
