Pair of Russian Imperial Porcelain Palace Vases - $3,375,000
Imperial Porcelain Manufactory, period of Nicholas I (1825-1855), with the blue factory mark in the form of the Nicholas I cipher and the date of 1833. The bodies of both bandeau shaped vases with a rich plum colored ground, decorated with handles shaped as acanthus scrolls, with gilded foliate borders, palmettos and acanthus scrolls, acanthus leaves and grisaille style ornament, with flared neck and foot, on a square ormolu base. The superb execution of the raised ornamentation creates an illusion of gilded chased metal or bronze. One vase is decorated with the copy of the painting from the main collection of the State Hermitage Museum (former Winter Palace) - "The Concert" by A. Palamedes (Dutch, 1600-1673, Amsterdam). The painting on this vase was created by the Master factory painter/decorator Semyon Golov (ca. 1783-1849). Price Realized: 3,375,000.00 USD
