PAIR OF FLAMPS in gilt bronze and porcelain with flowers Manufacture of Mennecy-Villeroy, around 1750 Polychrome enamelled soft porcelain, gilt bronze Very good condition, one brass floral button redone H. 25 cm Mark DV on the back of the terrace Provenance Private collection, Paris, since 2005 This pair of ormolu torches decorated with porcelain flowers draws its sources from the creations of the Vincennes factory which, at the request of the Parisian merchant-merchants, contributed to renewing the fashion of lighting from the 1740s. The manufacture of Mennecy-Villeroy, from which our model comes, continued the research by extending the use of porcelain to the base of the torches. Each foot is decorated with flowers painted au naturel, in bunches or scattered on the white cover, which mingle with a string of leafy volutes. One is enamelled in predominantly pink tones, the other in predominantly blue. Additional information given by the collector is available by QR Code in the PDF.
