Description
A pair of chromolithograph prints by Edouard Garnier, depicting 18th-century Sèvres porcelain objects. The first print illustrates a Sèvres soft-paste porcelain vase, dated approximately 1768, featuring a lid and body decorated with twisted spirals in bleu-du-roi and a terracotta/gold hue, adorned with garlands and a classical profile medallion. The second print displays one of a pair of French candelabra from the 18th century, crafted from Sèvres porcelain and chased ormolu, incorporating a central vase-form body, classical figures, and intricate gilded mounts. Both prints are professionally matted and presented under glass within ornate, gold-colored frames. Inscriptions beneath each image specify details like « Sèvres Vase » and « Candelabra, » along with materials, approximate dates, and provenance, noting their acquisition by Sir Julius Wernher, prior location at Luton Hoo, and current status with English Heritage at Ranger’s House, Blackheath.
