NAPOLEANIC URN DEPICTING THE NAPOLEON WAR

Fine Meissen Porcelain Covered Urn Featuring Cream-Ground Body With Polychrome Hand-Painted Military Chinoiserie Scenes Depicting Soldiers On Horseback And In Ceremonial Dress. Dark Cobalt Blue Neck And Finial With Gilt Bronze Mounts And Decorative Brass Base. Ornate Gilt-Bronze Handles With Scrollwork Terminals. Lid Surmounted By Gilt-Bronze Acorn Finial. Intricate Gilt Foliate And Floral Embellishments Throughout. Exceptional Craftsmanship Exemplifying 18Th-Century European Porcelain Artistry.

Among the most treasured decorative objects in the house.
Purchased during Darryn’s European buying trip, the urns were heavily inspired by Napoleonic-era French interiors and became centrepieces of the dining room.
The pair embody Darryn’s love of French history, dramatic interiors and grand entertaining spaces, while also standing as some of the strongest decorative statement pieces in the collection.
