Lot Essay

This superb vase reflects the taste for the mounting of exotic Oriental porcelains with finely crafted Parisian gilt bronzes promoted by the marchands-merciers of Paris, such as Thomas-Joachim-Hébert and Lazare Duvaux, which continued well into the 19th Century, as evidenced by this spectacular mounted Japanese Imari vase.
