Pair of French Chinoiserie bronze and enamel vases
£5,500
These beautiful 19th Century vases are decorated with Chinese-style motifs, appealing to collectors and designers drawn to the aesthetic appeal of the Orient.
The ovoid patinated bronze vase bodies are centred with a champlevé enamel band going around each vase and depicting the blue sea, large white waves, flowers and mythical fish-like sea creatures. Each vase is mounted in gilt bronze with twin handles in the form of dragon-masks holding rings in their mouths, circular pierced rims, and conforming bases with similar decorations.
