Surrounded by foliage, interlacing and chimeras. Pedestal decorated with garlands of fruit and flowers. Double handles adorned with plant garlands and ending with vine branches. The vase is topped with a pinecone lid. Neo-Renaissance work from the 19th century, in the style of the ornamental designer Claude-Aimé Chenavard (1798-1838). He is known to have produced a vase originally for the Sèvres factory, now in the Château de Fontainebleau. This example in polychrome porcelain paste was so successful at the Manufactures Royales exhibition of 1832, that a version in blue and white porcelain was produced and subsequently preserved in the Louvre Museum. An example in gilded bronze is in the Musée des Arts Décoratifs. less
