Reference : the Lancel shape designed in 1829 is one of the most frequent vase shapes produced by the Manufacture de Sèvres until the Second Empire. Our vase is very close in shape and decoration to the one we sold on November 18, 2020, decorated with a medallion representing Prince Ferdinand-Philippe, Duke of Orleans. It is very likely that these two vases originally formed a pair.
Provenance: this vase made by the Sèvres factory on 22 July 1837 was sold for 500 francs (Vv3, 23-77) and delivered for the Count of Neuilly [a title used by King Louis-Philippe for his personal purchases] in August 1850 (Sèvres archive reference: Vbb11, fol.35v°). A counterpart to this vase representing the Duke of Orleans was made at the same time, but sold on 24 December 1853 (V38, 90v°) for 500 francs. It is the latter that we sold on 18 November 2020 under n°121
