Catalogue Note
"J'aime le principe de la pièce montée qui modifie l'aspect ou l'emploi primitif de l'objet et lui signifie un destin supérieur" (Connaissance des Arts, septembre 1966). Ainsi s'exprimait le Prince des Antiquaires, Nicolas Landau, au sujet des objets montés et notamment des porcelaines de Chine à monture de bronze doré. D'une parfaite symétrie, le dessin organisé autour d'un axe médian tout en conservant un vocabulaire rocaille, notre monture illustre le style Louis XV dit classicisant, qui s'épanouit dans les années 1750 en réaction au goût asymétrique des deux décennies précédentes.
