Description

Pair of Antique Sèvres-Style Hand-Painted Porcelain Urns , These rare and striking pair of Sèvres-style porcelain urns, exquisitely hand-painted with finely detailed Napoleonic battle scenes, set within gilded laurel cartouches. The rich turquoise (bleu céleste) ground is beautifully contrasted by elaborate ormolu mounts and heavy gilt decoration, a hallmark of luxury French decorative arts inspired by the royal Sèvres manufactory.

Each urn is adorned with imperial motifs, including fleur-de-lis crests and classical wreaths, while the miniature scenes depict animated military moments of the Napoleonic era-showcasing exceptional artistry, depth, and precision. Sèvres porcelain has long been associated with aristocratic patronage, including Napoleon himself, and is celebrated for its refined craftsmanship and opulent color palettes.

Elegant in form and richly decorative, these urns make a superb statement as a pair-ideal for a mantel, console, or as part of a grand garniture display.

Dimensions: 20.5” high x 7” deep (base 6”)
