Beautiful antique Chinese Canton Famille Rose vase, crafted in the second half of the 19th century during the late Qing Dynasty.
This impressive piece features highly detailed hand-painted courtly scenes, surrounded by floral panels, phoenixes, peonies and decorative gilt accents. The vase is further enriched by rare sculpted gilt dragon handles, adding both prestige and collectible value.
The painting quality is exceptional: extremely fine brush lines, vivid colours and classic Canton enamel work characteristic of high-grade export porcelain.

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.
