This Pair of French 19th century Louis XVI cassolettes feature a beautiful white marble and are adorned with magnificent bronze mounts. The details are abundant and include a bronze pineapple finial over leaves, finely chiseled garlands over which beautifully detailed rams’ heads rest, fruited vines, acanthus leaves, and ribbon work. The pieces are supported by three hoofed legs, incredibly detailed themselves, with even more bronze work at the base. The pair is an elegant combination of finely chiseled bronze and marble, and are poised to bring a stately French element to a new home.

19th Century Sevres Vases, Signed and Marked for the Original Chateau
Item Number: 0003
This pair of grand Sevres vases in "Pompadour Pink" dates back to the 19th century and are beautifully hand painted on both sides. Each large front panel features three costumed 18th century figures. On one vase we see a woman pointing off into the distance, a man stares longingly towards her, while another woman points her attention towards him. The other vase shows two men courting a woman with a fort in the background. The back sides show gorgeous pastoral scenes; long, stretching country roads with trees in the foreground and hills in the back are accompanied by a light blue sky. The gold pattern work uses gold leaf, and the pieces are stamped with the Sevres mark as well as a mark noting the chateau they were made for.
