  • Haut. 41 cm, larg. 21 cm ; height 16 1/4 in., width 8 1/4 in.

Condition

The photograph is quite accurate. Good overall condition. As expected the gilding is slightly rubbed on the flat surfaces. Some oxidation to the gilt-bronzes, especially inside the flutes. Very few brilliants are missing. This magnificent vase with its exquisite chasing and lavish decoration is a wonderful example of Viennese goldsmiths and bronziers craftsmanship.
