Antique French Sevres-Style Garniture Statues — 19th-Century Hand-Painted Porcelain with Ormolu Mounts

Antique French Sevres-Style Garniture Statues, 19th-Century Hand-Painted Porcelain with Ormolu Mounts

A lovely pair of 19th-century French garniture statuettes, each crafted in hand-painted porcelain and mounted in sumptuous gilt bronze (ormolu). Originally created to accompany a central mantel clock, these statues represent the height of Louis XVI and Rococo-revival design, blending painterly romance with gilt grandeur.

Each figure features delicately hand-painted pastoral courting scenes framed in raised gilt scrollwork, with secondary pastoral vignettes at the base—all in soft blush, lilac, and cream tones characteristic of the Sevres palette. The cast bronze mounts showcase intricate acanthus leaves, masks, and scrolls, culminating in a finial that crowns each piece with regal flourish.

A magnificent example of 19th-century French decorative arts, this pair embodies the romantic idealism and refined craftsmanship once prized by the aristocracy of Europe. Elegant and rare, they make a captivating statement flanking a clock, mirror, or centerpiece in any grandmillennial or château-inspired interior.
