About the Item

This superb pair of Sèvres porcelain vases represents the height of French neoclassical decorative art, combining exquisitely painted porcelain with richly cast gilt bronze mounts. Elegant in form and monumental in presence, each vase is beautifully proportioned with a classical baluster shape, raised on an architectural foot and crowned by a finely detailed bronze rim. The porcelain ground is delicately tinted and lavishly enriched with hand-painted garlands, scrolling gilt ornament, and jewel-like pastel accents, all hallmarks of high-quality Sèvres production. The central reserves are adorned with signed neoclassical figural scenes by Collot, depicting graceful allegorical figures rendered in soft, luminous tones. These scenes evoke the refined idealism of antiquity—figures posed in pastoral landscapes, draped in flowing classical garments, and surrounded by an atmosphere of harmony and balance. The paintings are framed by elaborate gilt cartouches with scrolling foliage and floral motifs, enhancing their visual impact and emphasizing the painterly skill involved. Adding sculptural richness, each vase is flanked by gilt bronze figural handles, modeled as classical maidens emerging from acanthus scrolls. These mounts are finely chased, exhibiting crisp detail and a warm, aged patina that contrasts beautifully with the smooth porcelain surface. The bases are similarly mounted with decorative bronze collars and feet, grounding the composition and reinforcing the luxurious, museum-quality presence of the pair. About Collot Collot was a respected French porcelain painter active in the 19th century, closely associated with the tradition and influence of the Sèvres manufactory. Artists like Collot were responsible for the most important element of Sèvres porcelain—the painted scenes—which required extraordinary technical precision and artistic training. Painters signed their work only when it met the highest standards, making signed pieces particularly desirable to collectors. Collot’s work is admired for its refined draughtsmanship, delicate coloration, and ability to convey classical narrative with elegance and restraint. Decorative and Collectible Significance Pairs of Sèvres vases with signed figural decoration and gilt bronze mounts were intended for the grandest interiors—palatial salons, mantel garnitures, or formal dining rooms. Today, they remain highly sought after for their artistry, rarity, and enduring beauty. This exceptional pair embodies the sophistication, craftsmanship, and timeless appeal that define true French luxury, making them a centerpiece-worthy addition to any distinguished collection or interior.

Pair Ebonized Italian 1890s Era Carved Gilded Dolphin Neoclassical Armchairs
Located in Swedesboro, NJ
This exceptional pair of Italian neoclassical armchairs, dating from the 1890s, showcases the refined artistry and bold decorative flourishes of late 19th-century craftsmanship. Each chair is ebonized to a deep, lustrous black, providing a dramatic contrast to the richly carved and gilded details.
