Full Description

A rare pair of 19th-century Meissen porcelain Parrots with ornate gilded ormolu mounts, highlighting their luxurious craftsmanship and potential royal associations. The mounts, characteristic of the Louis XV Rococo style, suggest connections to French nobility or aristocratic collections, particularly during the Second Empire revival. Notable collectors like the Rothschilds and the French imperial family valued such ormolu-mounted porcelains, indicating a prestigious provenance. While exact attribution remains elusive, the exquisite quality and historical context align these pieces with elite European art markets, hinting at a significant connection to royal or noble heritage.
