A pair of fine and rare French banded amethyst quartz and ormolu mounted pot pourri urns and covers, 19th century, each domed cover with a pierced guilloche rim cast with flowerheads, descending to ovoid bodies festooned with fruiting vine and cast with twin satyr mask handles, above a waisted socle and square section plinth cast with imbricated laurel, 37cm high, 15cm wideProvenance: Private Collection, LancashireWith its striking colours and intricate figuring, amethyst quartz has been used by the finest bronziers and furniture makers throughout the late 18th and 19th centuries. A pair of vases by Matthew Boulton cut from the same, rare material, from the collection of the Earls of Portalington, was offered at Bonhams, 20 November 2007, lot 77 (£96,000). While the material was evidently used by important makers in England, the present lot is more likely French in origin. The model, with its fine fruiting garland in the style of Duplessis, and its distinctive wreath finials, has appeared at Sotheby's Amsterdam, 16 April 2007, lot 339, only the bodies were executed in white marble.Interestingly, the wreath finial and pierced rim adorned with flowerheads share distinct similarities with Meissen shapes of the late 19th century. Note for example the pair of cobalt-ground urns sold at Christie's New York, 9 June 2014, lot 286.An amethyst quartz topped gueridon by Maison Millet offered at Christie's London, 10 September 2013, lot 150 (£49,875), is a testament to this fine material's enduring popularity with renowned makers of the late 19th century.Condition Report: Each of the urns bears the usual minor marks, knocks and scuffs overall consistent with age and use, and the gilding is a little rubbed overall. It has a warm, slightly coppery colour in places.Both covers bear old chips and restorations (one of which with a lacking section of circa 1cm and old adhesive residue to the underside), and two of the corners on the bases are chipped on each urn (circa 0.5cm chips).The stone is naturally veined and variegated, with quartz inclusions, however there are areas of stabilisation and filling (in dark red) to the bodies where the stone may have chipped or was naturally irregular.One of the vases in particular has a horizontal split, which stretches approximately half way around the body, though it is not possible to ascertain how deep this fissure is. This being said, both urns are entirely stable overall.The protruding knops to the centre of the bows may have once suspended chains, though this is not certain. Condition Report Disclaimer
