About the Item

Pair Antique Chinese Bronze Brown Vases Relief Bird Floral Motifs Animal Chinese, c. 1900 Height 45cm, diameter 18cm This fine pair of Chinese bronze vases is distinguished by their ovoid form with flaring petal-form rims and twin handles cast as animal heads. The bodies are richly decorated in relief with scenes of birds perched among flowering branches, framed by foliate borders. The necks and bases are adorned with finely engraved and punchwork patterns, exemplifying the refined artistry and technical mastery characteristic of late Qing-period bronze craftsmanship. These vases illustrate the continued refinement of Chinese bronze casting at the turn of the twentieth century, when artisans combined traditional motifs of nature with bold sculptural forms. The bird-and-flower decoration—long a symbol of harmony, prosperity, and the cyclical renewal of life—reflects enduring themes in Chinese art, while the intricate textural contrasts demonstrate the maker’s command of surface and form. The use of bronze, both durable and expressive, allowed for subtle modelling and a deep, lustrous patina that enhances the sense of age and gravitas. The base of each vase bears an indistinguishable mark. Through its expert craftsmanship and elegant, harmonious design, the vases turn into the perfect addition to any growing collection of art and antiques.
