Description:
- Design: Each urn features a classical baluster form with a removable domed lid topped by an acorn or pinecone finial, raised on a flared socle foot and a square plinth base.
- Decoration: The urns are finished in a rich, deep cobalt or "Royal Blue" ground, lavishly decorated with extensive hand-applied gilt scrollwork and floral motifs throughout.
- Hand-Painted Panels: The central body of each vase is reserved with large, finely hand-painted panels. The scenes depict romantic or "gallant" figural courtship scenes in a pastoral garden setting. These are typically signed by a studio artist (e.g., G. Maurice, C. Velly, or H. Desprez on similar examples).
- Mounts: The pieces are adorned with high-quality gilt bronze (ormolu) mounts, including ornate handles fashioned as acanthus leaves or figural elements, and a complementary bronze base.
- Dimensions: H:60in
