Lot Essay

Designed in the Louis XVI 'antique' manner of the 1780s, these vases with their 'arabesque' putti holding pan-pipes, and the bacchic vine-garlands, relate to the nymph-surmounted vases manufactured by the bronze-founder L.-F. Feuchère. (See H. Ottomeyer, Vergoldete Bronzen, Munich, vol. I, p. 261)
