Pair of Large Ormolu Mounted Vases or Lamps
£6,500
An exceptional pair of ormolu mounted porcelain vases on a very large scale. The cobalt-blue baluster shaped vases, possibly by Sèvres, mounted on each side with an exceptionally modelled ormolu mask of Medusa and standing on neo-classical ormolu bases. This pair of vases would make a wonderful pair of lamps.
