Description
Pair of enamelled sheet-metal coolers, mid-18th century, with wood-effect decoration and medallions adorned with a bouquet of flowers; 19th-century removable parts decorated with polychrome porcelain flowers on leafy stems in patinated brass, h. 38 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 mountings. Regarded as a precious material for its delicacy, whiteness and lustre, Chinese porcelain captivated European connoisseurs. The Sèvres porcelain soon added to this craze. Set in gilded bronze mounts with elegant and skilfully crafted forms, these porcelain pieces became true collector’s items, destined for the most prestigious interiors and bearing witness to the refined taste of the European aristocracy.
