A Fine Quality Ormolu-Mounted Sèvres-Style Pink-Ground Porcelain Vase Mounted as Lamp

Rare Antique Gilded Bronze Mounted Pink Sèvres Style Porcelain Vase Converted to Lamp

This stunning 19th century French porcelain vase exemplifies Sèvres’ quality craftsmanship and the Belle Époque passion for exotic artistic motifs. The ovoid body glows in a vibrant exposed pink ground, dramatically contrasted by elaborate French ormolu gilt bronze mounts. Gilt bronze handles shaped like women holding baskets spilling garlands.

Meticulous hand-painting depicts a complex scene with a beauty in the garden and a pair of putti. Bearing traditional Sèvres marks and signed A.Collot, this antique accent piece stands on a tiered base reflecting the era's Rococo Revival style. Its rare coloration and transformed lighting usage make this signed French porcelain vase a one-of-a-kind addition to collections of European antiques.
