Description
Harness; Napoleon III, second half of the 19th century.
Gilt bronze and porcelain plates from Sévres.
Retains pendulum and keys.
Presents loss of a candlestick.
Measurements: 67 x 49 x 20 cm (clock); 72 mx 31 x 27 cm (candlesticks, x2).
Garnish consisting of a clock and a pair of ornamental candlesticks made of enamelled porcelain, with mainly low-temperature enamels, including chiselled matt gilding in the secondary areas. All three pieces also have a gilded bronze base, which is repeated in the case of the candlesticks and in the upper area of the clock. The bronze is decorated with vegetal elements worked with great naturalism and, in the case of the clock, with the presence of rounded rounded motifs, located at the base and in the upper area. The candlesticks have two large pictorial cartouches, one figurative on the front and the other with a landscape on the opposite side, framed by gilt cartouches on a monochrome blue background.
Originally founded in Vincennes in 1740, the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres was transferred to Vincennes in 1756. One of the leading European porcelain factories, the Manufacture was successively named after different political regimes: royal, imperial and national manufactory. Still active today, the firm continues to produce objects created since 1740, although its current production is largely oriented towards contemporary creation. The Manufacture de Vincennes was founded with the support of Louis XV and Madame de Pompadour, with the idea of creating pieces for the court and competing with the porcelain productions of Meissen and Chantilly. In fact, the first experiments were carried out by the brothers Robert and Gilles Dubois, who came from the Chantilly manufactory. During the French Revolution, the factory suffered a decline in production, but experienced a revival between 1800 and 1847 under the direction of Alexandre Brongniart, who made the factory internationally famous. During these years, many important technical innovations were made, and a number of contemporary artists collaborated with the manufacture. During this period, a new gilding technique was introduced, which was made shiny by burnishing the surface with an agate stone. The pieces were also decorated with opaque gilding, which was done by rubbing the gold with very fine sand. It was at this time that, for ornamental vases, a cartouche became established as a central theme, in the manner of an oil painting, with a gilt cartouche on a monochrome background. From the mid-19th century onwards, the dominant styles were eclecticism and historicism, and some models revived typologies from the past, such as the Mannerism of Fontainebleau and the Baroque of Versailles. This period also saw the addition of new coloured backgrounds, greys, yellows and browns, the "chameleon paste", grey in natural light and red under artificial light, and the "pâte-sur-pâte" technique, with several layers of biscuit porcelain.
