95. Chinese porcelain centerpiece with polychrome... - Lot 95 - Farrando
95. Chinese porcelain centerpiece with polychrome decoration in enamels of the pink family of twigs in bloom on a white and blue alternating background. The chased and gilded bronze mount, composed of a fantastic animal head in the center of leafy handles, bordering an openwork gallery traversed by scrolls. The base resting on four claw feet supports the cup by foliage ending in scroll. 19th century. (Chips and cracks on the lid). H : 32,5 cm - W : 35,5 cm - D : 27 cm This table top forming a bowl is the perfect illustration of the creations of the great houses of Parisian luxury furniture, successors of the merchant merchants of the 18th century. It is originally a covered pot made of Chinese porcelain whose original purpose has been diverted. A purely utilitarian object becomes an original art object, reflecting the taste of the time for exoticism. It is the same approach that we can observe on the chandelier of the Chinese Salon of the Empress Eugenie where the cloisonné metal cover of a perfume burner constitutes the bowl of the great chandelier of her Chinese museum at the Château de Fontainebleau.
