"Pair Of 19th Century Neoclassical Bronze And Cloisonné Enamel Vases"
A pair of late 19th century neoclassical footed vases made in France. Each vase has a bronze neck and foot, intricately painted with cold enamel using the champlevé technique. Their bodies and small pedestals are made of whitish onyx stone. These vases embody the elegant fusion of neoclassical and neo-rococo styles. Champlevé, a technique dating back to medieval times, involves hollowing out metal surfaces to create compartments to receive the enamel, resulting in vivid and long-lasting colors.
