A PAIR OF FRENCH ORMOLU-MOUNTED EGYPTIAN PORPHYRY VASES CIRCA 1880 Each vase of baluster form, flanked by bifricating acanthus leaf handles terminating in fruiting grape leaves, above a cast berried laurel waist and entrelac-mounted base above a stepped square plinth with a beaded border 22 ? in. (56.5 cm.) high; 10 ? in. (27.5 cm.) wide; 9 ? in. (24.2 cm.) deep
The model for the present pair of vases is almost certainly a derivation of an eighteenth-century girandole. An ormolu-mounted alabaster model of nearly identical form, surmounted with seven flowering candlearms and dated 1780, is in the collection of Petit Trianon, Chateaux de Versailles (inv. no. GML11058).
