Description
Louis XV-style pot-pourri, 19th century, made of Chinese porcelain, with a powder-blue glaze and gold decoration featuring lively landscapes and floral scrolls, gilded bronze mount with floral decoration, acanthus leaves, rocaille motifs and scrollwork; bears a label beneath the lid inscribed ‘Astor of Hever’, 37x37x28 cm A collection of 18th-century mounted vases In the 18th century, Parisian haberdashers played a vital role in the trade, enrichment and dissemination of luxury art objects. Acting as intermediaries between collectors, porcelain makers and bronze casters, they contributed in particular to the creation of these exceptional objects combining porcelain with gilded bronze mounts. Regarded as a precious material for its delicacy, whiteness and lustre, Chinese porcelain fascinated European connoisseurs. The Sèvres porcelain soon added to this craze. Set in gilded bronze mounts of elegant and skilfully crafted forms, these porcelain pieces became true collector’s items, intended for the most prestigious interiors and bearing witness to the refined taste of the European aristocracy.
