About the Item
Pair Large French Gold Ormolu Gilt Bronze Chinoiserie Stands Pedestals
French, 20th Century
Height 71cm, width 70cm, depth 70cm
Exquisitely crafted in the Chinoiserie style, this remarkable pair of stands reflects the European fascination with Chinese and East Asian art that flourished in the late 19th century. Renowned for its intricate patterns, exotic motifs, and architectural elements such as pagodas, Chinoiserie was widely applied to porcelain, furniture, and interior décor, symbolising refinement and worldly taste.
The stands feature a sturdy tripod design with lion paw feet and are centred by a finely modelled dragon with wings unfurled. The legs are elegantly decorated with scrolling motifs and foliate garlands, while the upper sections leading to the vases are enhanced with prominent cartouches. Dragons in Chinoiserie carry connotations of strength, power, and good fortune, drawing inspiration from their traditional Chinese symbolism. Their sinuous, dynamic forms not only convey energy and protection but also provide an appealing decorative flourish that captivated European collectors.
Superbly cast and richly gilded, this pair of stands offers an exceptional platform for displaying vases or other ornamental pieces, blending artistic craftsmanship with practical elegance.
