Large Medici vase
Painted and gilded hard porcelain
Dimensions: H. 30; D. 19 (cm.)
Paris, circa 1790

A rare, large Medici vase richly decorated in the Salembier style, with friezes of foliage, palmettes, acanthus leaves and arabesques. Beautiful daffodil background with pink cartouches and pearled rows. Typical of the end of the reign of Louis XVI and the early Revolutionary period.

Henri Salembier (1753 - 1820)
A Parisian painter and ornamentalist, Henri Salembier produced a number of decorative books from 1777 onwards. These were hugely successful, and were instrumental in shaping the vocabulary used in the French decorative arts at the end of the Ancien Régime and during the revolutionary period. Last but not least, Henri Salembier worked in collaboration with the Manufacture du Duc d'Angoulême: Dihl and Guérhard.

Condition report: wear to gilding, and restoration. Uncommon piece.
