Elegant French porcelain urn vase from the late 19th century, executed in the refined Sèvres style (dans le goût de Sèvres) and finished to an extra-luxury standard.
The vase features a deep cobalt blue ground enriched with extensive hand-applied gilding and finely crafted gilt bronze (ormolu) elements, including beaded rims, pedestal base, and decorative handles.
The hand-painted reserves are signed Delinière, depicting:
a romantic galant scene with a seated lady and cherub on the front
a serene landscape on the reverse
The painting demonstrates delicate brushwork, soft transitions, and a refined pastel palette, all hallmarks of high-end French porcelain decoration during the Belle Époque period.

(The photographs form an integral part of the description.)
A well-placed antique does more than decorate a room - it gives it authorship. Against a contemporary interior, older objects introduce texture, balance and a sense of permanence that cannot be replicated by newly made pieces alone.
This is the principle behind the LÜRON selection. We look for works that carry historical character with ease, and that feel as convincing in a Paris apartment as they do in a more modern architectural setting.
