Antique Old Paris Porcelain Vase: Hand-Painted Floral Rococo Decor
£225.00
Skip to product information
An elegant mid-19th century French porcelain vase in the distinctive style of Jacob Petit (1796-1868), known for his lavish Rococo revival designs and bold palettes. This Old Paris vase features a flared oval form with a scalloped rim, molded base, and ornate raised rococo ornamentation highlighted with fine gilding.
At its centre is a vivid hand-painted floral bouquet in tones of violet, yellow, red, and blue, rendered with exceptional precision. The design bursts with colour and movement, capturing the opulent aesthetic of the Napoleon III period. Petit's influence is clearly visible in the extravagant composition, dramatic forms, and expressive brushwork.
"Old Paris" refers to porcelain made by independent Parisian workshops between the late 18th and 19th centuries. Revered by aristocrats and collectors alike, these pieces are admired for their charm, vibrancy, and decorative flair.
