Exceptional hand-painted tableaux and exquisitely crafted doré bronze adorn this magnificent Sèvres urn. Boasting a marvelous Neoclassical design, the urn features excellent doré bronze mounts, from the lively cupid finial and acanthus-draped ring handles, to the classic egg-and-dart rimmed base. Matching textured gold laureate painting is applied with phenomenal intricacy, framing the scenes of a hunting party and a charming pastoral view. Displaying the signature deep blue background for which Sèvres is renowned, this porcelain urn is truly monumental in both size and artistry.
