Description
Pair of baluster vases, China, Qing dynasty, in crackled celadon-glazed porcelain, with Louis XVI-period bronze mounts, height 29 cm A restored vase 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 smiths, 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 fascinated 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, intended for the most prestigious interiors and bearing witness to the refined taste of the European aristocracy.
