Description
Pair of vases, late 18th century, made of blue-tinted faceted glass from Le Creusot, with a gilded bronze mount decorated with acanthus leaves and interlacing, height 29 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 played a key role in 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 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.
