Pair of 18th Century Chinese Porcelain Vases with French Doré Bronze Mounts

Description

An incredible pair of Louis XVI style 18th century Chinese porcelain vases with 19th century French doré bronze mounts. The porcelain was made in china in the 1700s. The vase is of turquoise ground with dark hand-enamelled purple and white chrysanthemum flowers and vines. Each vase is hand-enamelled with purple porcelain handles with white porcelain peonies alongside them. The porcelain was then shipped to Paris to be fitted with the finest quality doré bronze mounts. The base mounts have a 18th century rocaille foliage motif, designed to look 18th century, but are indeed 19th century. The tops are designed as acanthus leaves on a circular top mount. Porcelain: China, circa late 1700s Dore bronze mounts: Paris, circa mid-1800s.
